2 Attachment(s)

A collector in the Netherlands is restoring a Buick staff car. Who has more info and pictures regarding the use of the Buick 4900 in the Canadian army?

The one featured in the 1944 edition of the Vehicle Data Book has registration number CM 116540 9. Any contract details or other census numbers known?
