Chevrolet based Swedish Armoured Cars

[Stellan Bojerud (RIP)]

Thank You indeed!

I have a good record of the four 1931 Chevrolets. AC nr 4 and 5 served with 2nd Cav Regt (Skövde, W Sweden) and nr 6 and 7 with 4th Cav Regt (Umeå, N Sweden).

But regarding the 1940 model i dont have all details. I know for sure that nr 25-28 were Chevrolet 1940 and that nr 4 and 5 were uppgraded from Chevrolet m 1931 to Chevrolet m 1940 in 1943.

The new chassis were reported to be Chevrolet 1940 133" HS Sp 1.

I think that also nr 29-33 were Chevrolet m 1940 and also (new) nr 6 replacing a Chevrolet m 1931 which was destroyed in a fire accident in 1940.

Of the original nr 6 and 7 one of them (I don´t know which of them) was armed with a 37 mm M/1898 gun (ex Navy) and a 8 mm HMG M/1914-29 Colt-Browning in the front.

The other one had a second 8 mm HMG instead of the 37 mm gun.

In 1941 these ACs were renumbered 801-809 and 811-830. (810 beeing an odd AC M/1929 built by Stockholm Ordnance Workshop).

In 1942-43 all 30 ACs M/1931 were rearmed with a 20 mm Bofors AA gun + a 8 mm MG on the same pivot + the 8 mm HMG in the front.

In 1943 a mysterious M/1931 AC was built locally by the workshops of 3rd Armoured Regt. It got nr 951 and had engine number T 3176067 - does that fit in with a Chevrolet?

A Chevrolet m 1931 (nr 6 or 7) winter 1933.
