Does that say "CZ" on the door?

Great find again, Mr. eagle eye!

I'd say it does say CZ. Now, is it a Ford or Chevrolet?

Now, is it a Ford or Chevrolet?

Yes......most likely a Chevrolet or Ford

But seriously; very hard to tell.....mirror support or brush guard can't be seen.
The same picture turns up twice in the archive, but the other scan is even worse.

Two things, the picture is blurred because it's going very fast.

And the front hubcap appears to be a small cap casting a long, thin shadow.

Both of these things would indicate Ford.

Two more....First is probably British though (Dodges with British bodies). Picture taken in Eindhoven

And second.....two partial shots of a 4x2 in a Canadian camp in Rotterdam. Ford by the looks of it......and in Canadian service, even though we still haven't found the "smoking gun" of a 4x2 actually sporting Canadian registration!
