A 1939 or 40 aussie Dodge ute with soft top ...this is the 116" wheelbase .. light commercial chassis ..not sedan car . I also owned one of these for 10 years ..a 46 model with the closed cab, not rag top . It could be a Fargo with that grill .. the 46 was similar ..but with the headlights spaced out more towards the guards .
Very unusual to see the rag top on one of these . Mike

My parts list i.d. charts suggest that the De Soto was either a DE1 or DE15, US-sourced, 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton. This from memory as I have put my papers away!

She's a very attractive looking vehicle. Almost a touch of the 'Stuebakers' about her.
Hope someone restores this to original military specification.

Could have been used later down your way, but out of production in the US and Canada by September 1939.
