ID of vehicles in Greek service
 
Hello to all,

Ihope everybody is having an enjoyable holiday season,

These two photos appeared in the Greek magazine Panzer and were credited to a Th. Valmas. They show a commandeered van and a Greek Gendarmerie m/c combo at the start of WWII.

I believe the van is a Ford and the motorcycle a Harley, but as others are more knowledgeable than I am, I would appreciate your feedback.

You are correct on the van, it is a Model A Ford. I assume it was supplied as a chassis/cowl as the windscreen and body are definitely not American pattern. Probably bodied in Greece.
As to the motorbike, I am not good at type of vehicle so will leave it to the experts. I do believe it is American, Harley, Indian or whatever.
A very Happy New Year to you.
Bill
