1941 Ford V8 C11ADF Staff Car (11A-79)

Although it is a bit over-restored and fitted with the wrong wheels. But I would not complain if I had it sitting in my garage! Quote:

C11AD Ford at auction
Of interest in a Tom Mack Auction on Dec. 2, 2017 in Birmingham Alabama is a C11AD Ford Station Wagon. Looks restored but I am not familiar with the details of this car. It does have US-style tail lights in the photos. Part of a larger car collection liquidation. This has to be a rare vehicle!

Really? 100K? Was that the asking price or the selling price? Or have you added one too many zeros on there.
Certainly a nice piece. Would be nice to see it come back to Canada. |

I believe this was the same car. From back in 2009.

Indeed, it must be the same. It looks it is fitted with 16" wheels, or do I see things wrong?
Plus the last three pictures: Quote:

16 inch wheels would surely be correct? It was the C11ADF that had the 13 inch wheels and the heavier axles.

Some photos via favcars dot com; looks like they got them from the RM Sotheby's auction catalogue. These are the only photo's I could find back on the internet, I am pretty sure at the time of auction there were many more on the RM Sotheby's auction site.

Can't recollect any photos showing the underside but one of the dash did not show any auxiliary switches or data plate. Would have been nice to have known its history prior to restoration. The Nick Alexander’s dash, no auxiliary switches or data plate above speedo, as fitted to all contract ADF’s and AS’s and see on mine."

Ian McCallum noted “interesting in looking at the Chassis numbers I have managed to collect, including my own, they all follow the same sequence of 2D-xxxx-F which is completely different from that shown in the Auction details.”
So I get the impression this Station Wagon was not a C11ADF originally

Hanno.
In the last photo of your Post. #10, the wooden tool box in the trunk is actually the wooden tool box for a Wireless Set No. 52 Canadian, painted up the same colour as the vehicle by the looks of it. David |

I stand corrected, Hanno.
The lid on this tool box sits a lot deeper than the one for the 52-Set. Same overall design, however. David |
