T-boned by a CMP

[Alex van de Wetering]

I do fully understand the deprivation that existed at the time. It involved food, fuel, rubber, building materiels and infrastructure in general

Definitely. Worn tyres were no exception.....but also overloading of vehicles and sadly also accidents....some a result of ex-army right hand drive vehicles in busy left hand drive streets...sometimes with trams. There are several pics of Fordsons and CMP's involved in accidents with trams in Amsterdam.

Regarding overloading of vehicles; I have heard that Ford CMP's and GMC CCKWs were sometimes fitted with Chev axles, because you could overload these even more
