Correct, it is a Belgian Army ambulance built in the 1950s by Ford Köln - see/hear more at http://www.fordkeulen.nl/.

They came in 4x4 configuration, too.

And another 1939 Ford with with German Kübelwagen bodywork. It does not look like it has a Marmon-Herrington 4-wheel drive conversion, though.

Nuyt, I'm not sure this is a DAF PAG-trekker. The one pictured here has a half doors with canvas tops, whereas the DAF only had half canvas "doors".

I'm not sure if this image belongs with this thread but it is a nice picture from the Belgian publication "Mei 1940" by Peter Taghon and I've not seen it anywhere else.




It is captioned as showing a recently captured Antwerp built Belgian C.47 artillery tractor with the additional information that it ended it's days on the Russian front.

Thanks very much, Rich, for that posting.
There are precious few shots of that vehicle and yours has a lot of details that I have not previously seen.

Glad you like it Bill. If there's some way you can let me have an e-mail address, I'll send you an uncompressed scan through.

Rich, not quite - as it isn't a German conversion, but it helps in finding out the possible sources for the all wheel drive Ford chassis for the German conversion(s). See the Overvalwagen Forum thread Belgian Ford-Marmon-Herrington 91Y armored car for more pictures of the Tracteur Ford/Marmon-Herrington. Could you please e-mail the uncompressed scan?

Thanks!
Hanno
