[Frank v R]

needs to be restored just as it is , very rare vehicle, looks like it may be out of Gagetown, you will need to start your search for the in service photos, I have seen some of them when this vehicle was for sale in NB a few years ago , take good care of it, I only know of the two , this one and the one at 202,

I believe there was also an M38 done up for the queen's visit. If I recall it also had the high pulpit in the back, but may have been a little "louder".

For some reason I have a couple pics of the one from Gagetown back in the day. CFR 32210 looks to be the one Frank v R is referring to. Wrench the motor back in, paint on some white walls, douse a rag in diesel to buff the paint, throw on your favorite sport coat with accoutrements and have a parade.

The vehicle in those Gagetown photographs was one of at least five ECC 121116 M38A1CDNs modified to ceremonial vehicles.

As well there were at least four ECC 121315 M38A1CDN3s modified as vice regal vehicles.

The question is, who did the coachwork on these Jeeps?

[Kolten Hooper]

Hi, I own a 1970 M38A1 CDN3 with the CFR 70-08892. Most of the EDR info for the jeep has been overwritten by that of another vehicle so I was going to do a "freedom of information" request to see what else the government still has on file for this vehicle but figured I'd first check here to see if anyone can share any info... Ed? Others? Thank-you!

[Ed Storey]

Your M38A1CDN3 was disposed of out of CFB Toronto in August, 1998.

[Kolten Hooper]

Thanks Ed but that can't be right... all of the info I have gathered soo far indicates disposal out of Toronto in 1986 which lines up with the ownership dates in my vehicle info package from MTO.

[Ed Storey]

Finger issues on my part, should have been 1988; but there could have been an error when the date was input into the system so go with 1986 as per the MTO.

This just shows that even with primary source data there can be errors.
