I hoped some US contributors could say more if needed, indeed, but as there's no reaction, let's assume that these info are correct
The changes to be made:
Remaining questions:
The changes to be made:
- CF-7000 to Cargo CF-Series;
- Origin UK is accurate, but Built in Brazil should be deleted;
- 1986 changed into 1985 for the 15 concerned trucks. Or should I handle them manually?
Remaining questions:
- Is Made for USA still relevant, as it's impossible to say which trucks were made in Brazil and which were made in USA (unless Built in USA - Made for USA is a possible combination)?
- If Made for USA is deleted, I don't think the Made for Canada, when present, should be kept either: is there so many differences between the US specs and the Canadian ones?
- I don't know what to do with this "1990" truck nor with this "1997" one, as the first "identification" was made thanks to an unrelated truck on a classified ad site, and the second by someone known to often copy-paste info from unrelated vehicles... 1986 by default?

I did the changes:
https://www.imcdb.org/search.php?resultsStyle=asList&sortBy=0&make=Ford&model=Ca- rgo+CF
(as well as the CF-8000 -> Cargo CFT-8000)
About the "Made for", it was there to explain why it was named "Ford CF-..." instead of "Ford Cargo". Keeping the "CF-Series" after "Cargo" may still justify it.
Agree for the year change of the last two mentioned, but according to the comments the first one is a real CF-7000 and not just a CF-Series.
Or at least https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle.php?id=36314 is, and https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle.php?id=37471 is supposed to be the same vehicle.

Thanks! I was planning to make the changes manually for the CF-6000 and the CFT-8000, thanks for that too.
About the "1997 CF-7000": I just questioned the model year... and thanks to have corrected it into 1985 and not 1986, as I wrongly wrote

2008-2012 Ford Escape & Ford Escape Hybrids need some cleaning up. I have commented on a lot of pages within the last few weeks. There was a very minor face-lift that appears we were not aware happened. It seems some are being changed while others are being lost in the comments.
2008's were a weird year with all models and trims receiving Escape door badging.
2009-2012 only Hybrid models received door badging.
2008-2009 had a smooth tail gate without a hole.
2009-2012 received an enlarged front spoiler.
2009-2012 Sport trim was made available.
2010-2012 had a hole in the tailgate.
I can added examples of each specified listing if we need them for IDing purposes.
Sorry if this is not the right thread to post this.
If I was an admin (lol) I could change them one by one when I have a chance.
2009-2014 Chevrolet Express 1500 models only. I found a new way to pinpoint Chevrolet Express 1500 models from 2009-2014. The 1500 models received new alloys for the 2009 MY. I have not had the chance to go back through all of them to comment. 1500 should also be added as extra info for all these 1500 vans as well since 2500 & 3500 never received these alloys.
Here are the Alloys I am referring to: http://imcdb.org/vehicle_550882-Chevrolet-Express-GMT610-2009.html

A couple of errors I want to correct from the 2019 mini-series "I Am the Night;"
This VW Van was in episode 4, but I forgot to add the episode number:

Also, this anachronistic 1970 Plymouth Fury was a background vehicle rather than being shown in any previews or trailers:

I tried to correct that error myself, but it went live before I could fix it.

Is the "La Poste" complement really useful, for the vehicles of that French administration? A French person will automatically identify such vehicles as a postal ones, but a non-French one (or someone not used to the French automotive landscape), if really disturbed, will certainly just wonder what this "Poste" in extra-field is (a trim level, a special edition, ???).
And if it's really giving any info, shouldn't it then be set as PTT, for the 1921-90 scenes? The La Poste name was not used until January 1991 (fr, en), so it's a bit anachronistic to see it linked with vehicles shown in earlier movies...
_____
Edit: there's already one PTT vehicle, in the IMCDb, but... it's a vehicle shown in a 1995 movie and having a clearly visible La Poste on the door

For those who like postal vehicles it can be good to find them
For such case we should have a "hashtag" field where we can put keywords that allows to find the vehicles easily based on non-technical info.

It depends on the vehicle.
For example, the Renault 4 vans, this is valid since the modifications, like the side window, were reserved for administrative vehicles (EDF-GDF, La Poste, etc.) and not available in the civil.

So, if we keep that complement, does everybody agree that we should use P.T.T for pre-1991 movies and La Poste for 1991+ ones? And that it should be kept only if concerning a real change on the vehicle, i.e. not for a body color that could just be a paint job made just for the movie/series?
Or, as the changes were apparently only made on pre-1991 vehicles (no Renault 4 were produced after 1991), should they all be set as P.T.T, whatever the relase date of the movie is?

(too few vehicles are concerned, so I'll handle it manually. But I want to be sure to do the right changes )

1- La Poste: which changes should be made?
2- Is there a real reason to use the P-10 or P-30 chassis name for some Grumman-Olson vans ? This chassis name is usually (and wrongly) used on Chevrolet Step-Vans, but if I'm not mistaken, the GO vans used chassis from several different makes. So is this not just a "good old bad habit", like the [C-10] previously used for Chevrolet's pickup or the 3100 name given to most of the Advance-Design models?
(the fact that Firebird86, who's sources were mainly classified ad sites, appears to be the main provider of the [P-30] "info" reinforces me in this idea...)

1. I would use that only for vehicles specially made/modified for the company (and where it is visible), but not for any postal vehicle, otherwise we would have to do the same for every country

For the record, I changed the 2 Dina 500 Series (US version of the name) into Serie 500, which is the accurate name in Spanish.
If no one disagree, I plan to do the same with the Dina 600 Series.

I'll also change the 2 Dina 800 Series into (just) 800:

I just noticed most of the second generation Honda CRXes are entered as "Civic CRX", which is incorrect, at least for Japanese (CR-X), Nort American and European spec (CRX) cars.
Any objections if I rename them manually, and add - or correct - year/chassis code/"Made for" when known ?

Only 6 trucks are concerned so far, so not really important, but FAMSA, a former Mexican make which produced trucks using International cabs and Mercedes-Benz engines, means Fábrica de Autotransporte Mexicana (es) (I assume that SA stands for Sociedad Anónima i.e. Limited Company).

The "La Poste" name was already used in the 1980s. I remember the slogan "Bougez avec La Poste" well.

My bad, the company name changed in 1991 only, but the logo and advertisements did indeed use La Poste from 1984 onwards (pdf, fr).
So, corrected version: the La Poste name shouldn't be used for pre-84 vehicles
In fact, and if I'm not mistaken, the Renault 4 Fourgonnette used by the PTT people was made for all French administration services (EDF/GDF, ONF, firemen...), and the main difference with the other vans was just a small additional window on the cargo box side (called "vitre administration" by this car spare part site). Should we then use "Administration" as complement, as was more or less suggested by sixcyl at least once and as is done for now for specific 4-window Renault R4 and some Citroën DS/ID??
For the other vehicles (Goélette, Galion, Estafette...), I'm not sure that the specs were different from factory models: this complement is most probably not relevant, in these cases.
