Sorry I missed the addition post with the Ford serial number. Good information. My particular interest is the relationship of the CFR numbers with the Ford serial numbers and dates of delivery for Canadian M38's. There is no direct relationship between either the M38 CFR number, the Ford serial number or the date of delivery : just broad trends.
Many jeeps are missing their original brass dashboard data plates sets: often taken as souvenirs. I would be interested in serial numbers and dates of delivery for any serial plates that people might have in there data plate collections.
To add to the confusion, Canada had some Willys M38's (generally October 1951 dated) and examples of jeeps that had additional data plates added when they were rebuilt. There are also examples of Willys M38A1's adopted by Canada, given CFR numbers and the typical ad-on convoy light. .... Brian
