Canadian Experimental Armoured cars - 1935

[Bruce Parker (RIP)]

Clive, I haven't been there recently but can't imagine why the yard wouldn't still be there. The office and garage are on the east side of the main road through Milford, about 10 minutes south of Picton. The owners were pretty good about letting you walk in their yard, to the west, which has probably 50 acres of old cars. There are a dozen CMP's sprinkled in. The hull parts were in the nearest row, left off the laneway in. I can't find pictures but recall two parts, angular, painted khaki with nickel or stainless steel welds. One part had a rounded sheet metal fender still attached and the other a 3" by 8' vision port that closed with an scissor mechanism. If they indeed belonged to one of these early armoured cars, it may be worth looking for a commercial chassis in the same yard that perhaps these parts came from.
