|  Frituur Zorro books 
			
			Thanx for your positive remarks Rick, but the website you mention is the wrong one. It should be http://www.frituurzorro.nl By the way: volume three is out in september. Practically devoted to Allied stuff, including CMP's. Here is one already... |

			Hi Mariano, there was a shortage of headlamps as many trucks had one to begin with, others were missing or broken.  As there was hardly any supply of spares (all sent to Argentina to be stored away for deacdes  ), they just used any available headlamps and made them fit.

			Useful fire engine conversion, but it didn’t improve its looks... “Chevrolet C15A met een carrosserie van de firma Vogelaar en een brandweer technische inrichting van de firma van Bergen. Deed dienst vanaf 1947 tot 1959 als autospuit bij brandweer Vleuten.”
