The sign says "Ford with DAF TRADO, year of construction 1935". This was a post-war conversion of a CMP truck with the pre-war TRADO system which converted a single axle into a four-wheel drive bogie. Obviously it did not catch on, possibly because of the surplus of military trucks early after the war. Later, Marshall Plan funds became available, so DAF got to build new trucks which employed a similar, but improved system.

I've always wondered where this prototype went .... was most likely scrapped.
