concerns
I am more worried about restored vehicles that are offered for sale as being ex-military, when I know that particular car was never in the military . This is a vague area as we know that many civvy models were taken into army service . But when it comes down to individual cars... I mean you can drag out uncle Joe's 1940 chevy car and paint it army green and the buyer has no idea it was never a army car. Here , most of the surviving wartime era cars were actually owned by : taxi companies, doctors or other essential users who obtained a permit to buy the car. Almost nil, actual genuine military staff cars survived.
I know a case in point .. won't mention names of course.
