Good morning Hanno and Les! I've been doing some research on the Ford C11 ADF and I've discovered that there were three versions built during the war:
Car, Heavy Utility, 4X2, Ford C 11 ADF
Car, Heavy Utility, 4X2, Ford C 11 A5
Ford Heavy Utility Car
The first two vehicles were built on the 1942 chassis, the differences being the A5 had seating for 7 instead of five, lighter axles, and smaller tyres; 600 X 13 on the A5, 900 X 13 on the ADF. The Ford Heavy Utility Car was virtually identical to the ADF except that it was based on the 1941 model and therefore had a slightly different body and grill. The most notable difference are the fender mounted turn signals which I believe were dropped for the 1942 year model thereby making the Ford in Hanno's picture a 1941 Ford Heavy Utility Car. Am I wrong in this deduction?
On a lighter note; you're all well aware of the competition between Ford and Chevy owners with Chevy owners enjoying making up disparaging acronyms for Ford such as:
(F)ix (O)r (R)epair (D)aily
(F)lip (O)ver (R)ead (D)irections
Well!, now Ford owners can fight back with:
(F)ought (O)n (R)ommel's (D)esert!
CHIMO!
