I think you'll find its a PU. The tyres are 9.00 x 13 and not CS8 size 9.00 x 16 in the picture.

How about this "Car, 2-seater, Wireless, Ford Type" in use by the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals who bought six in 1935? It is a 1935 Ford Roadster outfitted with a Wireless Set No. 1 and an aerial mount.

My "Iltis" convertible wasn't nearly so grand.

Hi Joe:

May I thank you profusely for your post and even more so for the link to your site.

My own historical research passion is primarily centered on US Marque vehicles used in military service 1935-1945. Within that field, I especially search for "civilian" vehicles used by various military forces, both beute/captured/impressed vehicles but also MCV vehicles such as the Fords on your site.

CMP vehicles are, of course, the focus here but over the years I have collected an amazing amount of photos and information on MCVs, not only in Canada but literally from almost any country.

Thanks again for posting, the photos on your site were all new to me and invaluable additions to my photo files.

Cheers

Bill
