I had a similarly fond visit to Andre Gibeault's farm in southern Quebec. Row upon row of open-front machinery sheds with all sorts of well restored vehicles. Generous with his time, and proud of his collection. Every piece had an entertaining story.

He impishly asked me, 'what's on the trailer'?, pointing at a two-axle trailer with a heavier than ordinary looking ladder frame onboard. It certainly looked Canadian and wartime, but not being a CMP guy, I could not guess. He had a CT15A armoured truck chassis, and was going to restore it.
