Chevrolet photos wanted

[Grant Bowker]

It appears Newfoundland switched to driving on the right side of the road 0000 January 2, 1947. Presumably the 2nd to reduce the chances of New Year's party-goers making mistakes.
I wouldn't read too much into the RHD configuration of the car, it could have been part of a large order all built RHD but a few kept in Canada. After all, I'm not aware of any LHD CMP being made for use in Canada.

Certainly it doesn't look like the UK

If you look at post No 2 in this thread you will see an Australian Salvation Army van on a train bound for Darwin.

There are many photos of Australian Salvation Army vehicles of many types in Australia and overseas.

Maybe you would like to start a new thread on Welfare vehicles of all types - Salvation Army, YMCA, American Red Cross etc. It would certainly throw up a wide variety of vehicles not normally seen on this thread.

The NAAFI also ran a fleet of Canteen Trucks throughout the UK and wherever the British Forces were established.

Lang,

Sorry to bother you with another "close but no sigar" Chevrolet, but I found these pics today and I thought this thread would be best to post them.

It seems a Chevrolet Ambulance was donated to the Dutch Queen in 1941.

Pictures of old vehicles are never a bother!

Thanks for that interesting set.

Lang,

"As an ex-Army pilot I feel a natural antipathy to painting anything Air Force so I am still looking for any scheme other than blue for my Chevrolet. "

You can still have an RAAF vehicle from WW2 painted in Army pattern cammo rather than blue - many/most RAAF vehicles were painted camouflage colours, many in Army workshops in the period late 1941-early 1942.

The only difference will be the registration number (AF followed by 1XXXX or RAAF followed by 2XXXXX).

What make/model are you considering? I might be able to provide you with a few appropriate registration number examples.

Mike
