Serious accidents were the order of the day, I reckon.

All those 1930's ads show the cars elongated. If they thought people liked that look why did they not build them like that?

I made my remark knowing that the army wouldn't order luxury vehicles but workhorses. Hence no 1940 Special De Luxe or Master De Luxe but a plain Master 85. Apparently the configuration of the army vehicles differed from the civilian line up.

"WW2 Canadian Soldier at Barriefield Camp
Barriefield Camp, Kingston, Ontario was a training school for the Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps during WW2. The photo appears to be taken at a train station. Note the rail cars visible in the background. The back of this snapshot has a pen and ink inscription,; "This was on the film in Ward's camera when he left & I think was taken just before they joined the Perths - and still at Sussex I think in Sept.". Perths would be the Perth Regiment and Sussex would refer to Camp Sussex, New Brunswick." 4747123205_376d6b2b8d_b.jpg Source: https://flic.kr/p/8eufkP

As far as I know, in 1940 Chevrolet sold the Pullman and the Ridemaster (both with Deluxe options), but not a Pullman Ridemaster (ref https://ozgm.com/reference.htm). Any which way, it is a lovely car! Chevrolet-Pullman-And-Ridemaster-Series-Brochure-1940-_57.jpg
