The Chevrolet is now on the water, due Rotterdam 22 May in time for D-Day.

It is now seriously for sale with arrangement mid-June.

I gave it a test run in USA before loading and it is very nice to drive with the overdrive gearbox giving an easy 100kmh cruise.

Photos of it last week marked as a USAAC BAD 1 Burtonwood UK 1943-45 Flight Line Film Developing unit (gun camera developing). And yes, the vehicle has a chrome grille as per all deliveries by Chevrolet for this style front in the early war period. There is a thread somewhere on this subject.

I am in Holland waiting for the ship +31 (0) 616 673 616

Lang,

I like the markings you chose for the Chev.....it turned out really nice. I had a already spotted it in the background of a milweb ad for it's Dodge sister.

I hope you find a good home for it.......after a good trip to Normandy, of course!

Alex

Saw your van in some pictures on the beach at Arromanches. Did you ever get a buyer?
