Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as the saying goes... also it's so ugly it's beautiful! Looking at the Cab 13 mudguards and wooden steering wheel I'd say it was once a 1943-ish C15A. Perhaps even something like a Signals van totally repurposed. And given it was made by a prominent Sydney motor body builder perhaps it was not just a one-off...
