The link is to search for Ford, you can also search for Chevrolet
These photos are dated 1951 and the Royal Netherlands Army registration number "32505" denotes it was taken up in service. The only reference*) I can find is an entry "Ford F60S motoraffuit 2 tl" which stands for "Ford F60S motor gun carriage, 20-mm, anti air targets". The census noted six were on strength on the stock taking dates 31 May 1948 and 5 April 1951. In 1951 all six were struck off strength and sold for scrap.
