1938 chev prototype

[mike mckinley]

hi all

while surfing the www i found the attached pic. it was grouped with a bunch of other pictures of the Royal Canadian Dragoons. it's difficult to see the cab, but comparing what i can see to other pictures on file, i think that truck is one of the 1938 chevrolet prototypes. at first the soft top made me think it was a ford proto, but examining the rear body changed my mind. as well, there is at least one other photo of a soft top chev prototype. considering that photos of these pre- cmp trucks are few and far between, i figured you would enjoy seeing it.

making things even more interesting is the fact that according to the research of David Hayward, four of these chevrolets were assigned to B SQUAD, R.C.D. in Toronto and carried the war dept numbers Z38-1-6, -8, -7, AND -5. too bad we can't positively identify it.
