Another Book on CBC – Special HUPs
I’m reading a book that I just got (e-pay) written by Peter Stursberg, The Sound of War, Memoirs of a CBC Correspondent, though I have not finished reading it thought I would pass along some of the pictures. Also wanted to post an alert for you HUP collectors to keep a look out for a HUP with indications of padlock middle doors and names painted on the side doors if you find it you may have a very special vehicle. Years ago when I first was writing back and forth to Peter Ford (who was and avid CMP collector and then employee of the CBC) he was hoping that my HUP was this one, it is not. The HUP in question had been shipped back from Europe at the end of the war. Where it spent a number of years Plowing the CBC until it disappeared, so if any of you find a HUP look for any tell tail signs of the lettering on the side.
Cheers Phil
