Thanks! A Dodge eh? That might explain those louvres/louvers.

And we have a reader! Do you like the CMP story which is running? Thousands of potential readers are missing out on the history of the development of the CMPs written by Yours Truly, though regrettably very condensed.

I'll have the money because it is a Ford with those 3 bars down the door. Dodge did not have these.

Ford
Either a 1938 - 39 with the Barrell Nose Grill or the 1940 41 with the waterfall Grill
If you look on the Gun Tractor Database on this forum and about the fifth entry down is an entry by Tony Smith showing a 1939 Marmon Herrington Gun Tractor here in New Zealand, Although it is a softtop it has the same basic cab and side grill as the photo showing that it is a 1938/9 Ford probably a 3Tonner sorry not a dodge

Definately a Ford .. either 40 or 41. It cannot be a 39 as the bonnet shape is distinctive for a 40/41. The 39 has a more curved-rounded bonnet shape that narrows down to meet the rounded cameo grill shape. The 40/41 bonnet is wider towards the front as in Davids pic... Having owned one - it sort of sticks in your head !

I have checked my photos for 1940-41 military Fords and they have five grille bars and the hood appears different, plus the front fenders are distinctive here...they differ from the MILITARY Ford ones which may be cut-away in the wheel arch though.
