Hi Ross,

You may be able to find the Fletcher book (ISBN 0-11-290439-4) for sale on-line somewhere. Dragons of Steel (ISBN 1-896182-04-0) should be available in local libraries. Another book which makes some brief mention of the vehicles is 'The Royal Canadian Armoured Corps, an Illustrated History" (ISBN 1-896941-17-6) which should also be available in libraries. I have reference to an article" The First Armoured Cars - A very Canadian Story" in Canadian Defence Quartery, Vol 11, No 3, Winter 1981-82. Your librarian should be able to help you find a copy. Yet another reference that includes some text and photograps is "Armored Car" by R.P. Hunnicutt (ISBN 089141777X)

I would say it is highly unlikely the any of these vehicles survive. There are still a number of Jeffery-Quad trucks around and there is a replica/mockup of the US version of the car in Pancho Villa State Park in New Mexico. This vehicle had two turrets instead of the single one on the Canadian vehicles.

Good luck with your research.
