They're the closest thing to "new" CMPs you'll ever see.

1944 Ford F60S LAAT was one of those ex-French reserve stock CMPs, sadly it was lost in the
blaze which destroyed a hangar full of vintage vehicles. Itīs census number was CH5582457, and apart from the ones listed above, it featured in several threads on this forum:
CMP LAAT on eBay;
F60S for sale. Really sad this fine CMP was lost in a blaze.
Jimmy, was anything salvageable left of your Ford?
