Default C01uc

If serial number 13 was produced in March, 1941 .... you do the math.

The request to Ford Canada was received in May, 1940 for 600 universal carriers. While most (but not all) parts were being produced in North American plants for the Canadian 1940 Model 1 Universal Carrier in 1940 (C01UC), records show the first Canadian produced carrier rolled out of the Ensite plant on 8 February, 1941. By 12 February, 1942, 4,000 had been produced.

On occasion, 1940 dated Ford Canada parts show up, as well as the British parts like Solex carburetors, steering gearbox, instrument gauges and 'Prince of Darkness' headlamps that had been delivered to get as many as the first 2,000 plus carriers out the door.
