C11ADF Canadian Ford Military Station Wagon
Whilst browsing through British Woodies, by Colin Peck, I discovered this passage on the C11ADF 1941-style Canadian Ford militarized station wagon. It contains some production and contract data. It is interesting to learn this 1941-style vehicle (as opposed to a 1942-style revision, which I don't think even existed in militarized heavy-duty form) was still being supplied as late as 1943.

C11s
The Canadian Mechanization Depot at Slough assembled C11AD 5-passenger wagons with 9.00x13 tyres, and heavier axles than the C11AS. They also assembled C11AS 7-passenger wagons with 6.00x16 wheels.
These would be 1941 Models of course and assembled in 1941. I regularly send photos of woodies to Colin...nice guy!

Tony -- I'll scan some in later.
David -- I didn't realize the C11AS and C11AD came in versions that differed more than merely in paint finish, for the military. I assumed the C11ADF was the only significantly different one due to having right-hand drive, larger tires, and being "beefed up." Interesting! I'm at the office, and don't have my Vanderveen books with me.

These are from Lorin Sorensen's Famous Ford Woodies book, and show a U.S. 1944 Ford Auxiliary Ambulance and Carryall, as it was officially referred to. They were only built that year, and only 100 or so were made. They were built by Schult Trailer Co. by converting new 1944 military Ford 2-door sedans.

Translations - Carryall is a name I've seen attached across the spectrum of manufacturers for utility vehicles (here Ford, International Harvester! and generic for 4x4 utility vehicles). I think it is even a class on Canadian Forces drivers' licences.
- Masonite is a manufactured pressboard material made from sawdust and some sort of bonding agent. Tempered masonite is stable enough to be used for signs and some grades are weather resistant.
