This was called an "Estate Wagon" either by Willys or mahindra, depending when it was made. It was a common issue for PWD / ministers/ Excecutive and Superintending Engineers/Goverment officers, etc.

Hey that a neat Ford Model A roadster, seems to have the engine too? Would be a nice restoration candidate. Thanks for the photos.
