This 1941 Dodge Series D19 Deluxe sedan is marked up with census number CM4292138. It is on display at Valiant Air Command Inc. Warbird Museum, Titusville, Florida. I don't think there is a way of telling whether this is an original Canadian Army car or a civilian one painted up as such.

Pics of a 1941 Dodge in RAAF service, this car is actually a Plymouth fitted with a fake Dodge grill, badges and trim, this was a cheap option that typically Chrysler preferred to use for the smaller markets. This car would be RHD and fitted with a TJ Richards body. Compared to other wartime staff car variants , very few of these were made and I think only two have survived , the RAAF seemed to be the main user although a few may have been sold to civilian hire car operators .

Hanno,

That car appears to be the Plymouth based version of a Dodge but it does have Dodge like features !

Mike, the above, and "Plymouths fitted with fake Dodge grill, badges and trim" - I need to get my head around Chrysler's uncurbed badge engineering.

Which is why I bought that manual, should be an interesting read!
