The earliest known CMP!
Serial # 0842100138 is the earliest known Chevrolet CMP! The next oldest # 0842100297 was a demobbed ex-British delivery but Canadian order. This rather proves that the C15 was the first production Chevrolet CMP series followed by C8 4 x 2, then C30S then C60S. It then went I think C-GT, C60L and then finally C15A and C8A. However it also appears that there were batches of production and the lines switched models as the contracts came in.
The C15 was possibly slightly pipped in deliveries to the 1st Canadian Division in England by the Ford F15s...50 of which went to France and were subsequently made POWs!
