It makes for interesting reading, although GM Canada's effort is grossly neglected. One remark is all they get:
"General Motors of Canada’s Chevrolet Division was extensively involved in the war effort as well, building a forward-control utility vehicle on a 101-inch wheelbase–with a bowtie on the radiator cover, no less–that was widely used by British, Canadian and Australian forces throughout the war."
But the article contains some previously unseen pictures. I wonder what else is lurking in the archives....
"
GM of Canada’s Chevrolet engineers designed AWD trucks for Brits and Aussies"
"
For jungle use, Chevrolet produced 4×4 ambulances with high-floatation tires"
