See the truck in the background? That's why I think this GMC COE is located in Canada.....

Nice. Hard to see, but it looks like a long wheel base 60cwt Ambulance with 16inch wheels like the one we recently saw Hanno.

This type of GMC workshop was also delivered to the British; I believe there is a lovely restored example in Mickey mouse camo in the UK.

p.s. Reynoulds museum maybe?

Alex, you are absolutely correct, I have almost the exact same picture that I took at Reynolds. He does not run the museum anymore and at the time claimed he was donating all the good stuff to the Alberta Museum just down the road.
