Default GMC

The W & T photo is of a 1939-40 Model ACK-352 I think...if it does not have the DAF-Trado gear of course! Note the similar but different 1939 + 1940 front grille with less, thicker, horizontal bars. The wheels differ from the Maple Leaf equivalent, and the front bumper & tyres as well..the tyres look Canadian pattern to this non-expert.

Basically what we have in the GMC is the Pontiac, Mi-designed and built 4 x 4 that was shown to the military in 1939 in Ontario.

The French website is wrong in that the first COE factory Chevrolets debuted in 1937 in Canada, and for export from Pontiac, Michigan as they were clones of the GMC and Oldsmobile COE 1937 models, with Chevrolet or Hercules diesels.
