This is way off subject, but I was perusing some oddball items in my photo archives and came up with this one.
It is a Condor, which was the export badge for Gramm trucks which was a very minor player here in the US. This is a 1940 model, next to last year for them. They were exported to some 30 countries with China, Belgium and Holland being the largest markets. My question is has anyone ever seen a confiscated one used by the Germans or maybe impressed by the Dutch or Belgians and used as a military truck. Bill

Bill the grill and the mudguard profile look similar to the Internationals of the time and while I cannot help with your 'in German service' ones I may have some mixed in with my Aussie internationals folder. I remember the look of that grill. I will look later and post here if I find anything.

Thanks Cliff:
I have verified that it is a clone of the Gramm and further that it had a cab and grille identical to the contemporary Willys 1 1/2 ton truck that was also apparently built only for export. Somewhere in my cellar, I have some issues of American Exporter of that era and I will try to dig them out and see if I can come up with anything else. Bill

Hi Bill,
Interesting! Vanderveen's American trucks of the late 1940s shows two Dutch civilian trucks. Could you please post also on The Overvalwagen Forum for the Dutch, Belgian and Chinese buffs? |

Bill I checked the 5 photos I had of a similar truck but they were all Internationals.
I thought we may have ended up with some here as there was a very wide range of obscure vehicle makes here at one time. Cheers Cliff ![]() |
