OddBall Dutch Ford

[Bill Murray]

I am hoping one of our Dutch members can shed a liuttle bit of light on this vehicle.

I seems to be a 1935 Ford V8 with some sort of taxi body, ie the rear window is much longer than a normal sedan.

However, it seems to be also fitted with oversize military wheels and tyres and the wings seem to be shaved for better clearance.

Anyone have any ideas if this was perhaps a dedicated military vehicle purchased by the Dutch armed forces as such or was it a later conversion of a taxi cab???
Cheers
Bill
