Default Thanks!

The photo meethinks was taken 1943-4 in Ormskirk, Liverpool where the crated trucks were stored pending assembly. I assume the US Army officer has been shown the operation as Jeeps for the US forces were assembled by Pearson's and they also assembled Mack, Diamond T, White trucks supplied under Lend-Lease.

However I cannot establish which car this rear end belongs to! The rear license plalte says 'CHEVROLET' but it has a split rear window. The rego is 1938-9, from Liverpool by the way, and the photo was taken May 1941. Pearsons sold Oldsmobiles pre-war as well as Opels.
