Chevrolet WB Question

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

I concur with Lang...I am sure that I can see the carb top and that the engine is there. They are low down or were in the civvy 1939-40 truck models. I would have thought that the FF would have removed anything and everything if they could. I can imagine that distributor, air filter, plugs, etc. would have been taken as they would have been easily removed.

I may be wrong though and just suggest that it appears to me as though the engine is still there. It is however difficult to tell and the suggestion that the FF would have wanted any parts is plausible. I have no idea if they had the facility to remove that engine though without a portable hoist.

Hello all.

It would seem the radiator is still in place. Be nigh impossible to remove engine with it still there?

Ok; your arguments have convinced me. The engines were NOT removed by the French. Actually their report does not mention anything like this but the assumption was brought up by Winston Churchill (the Gradson of the other one) whilst he saw the wreck in the early 1960ies.

Thanks again for your assistance!

Sorry, I made a mistake: It's a WA not a WB .
