Re: Canadian Dodge Breakdown?

I have a photo of a crate that is clearly a Canadian order: see the attached photo. The crate says "CHRYSLER" on the side in bold black BUT the crate is evidently containing a Diamond T Medium Breakdown, and evidently serial number 96980325. That is no Dodge number!
I wnder how Chrysler became involved? I know that the Canadian arm produced bodies but that would not be "the case" here. Odd.

David,
The serial number starts 969, so that lines up with a DT wrecker. It maybe that Chrysler packed the vehicles, strange things happened in wartime between companies that in peace time, would be competitors.
