Stan Reynolds Snow Machine

[Dennis Cardy]

Among the many trucks was this one.
Obviously a CMP...sorta kinda. Was puzzled by it.
With the help of a knowledgable friend, found out it was one of 50 or so Pilot models.
Built by Ford around Sept 1939.
The start of the CMP line.

Unique lift-up hood cover.
Left hand drive, Flathead V8, and standard commercial instrument panel.

The rough wooden board seat is obviously not original
But if you look closely, it's sitting on a formed metal base, which perhaps could be original.??

There is one in the War Museum.
One on Vancouver Island, and one at CFB Shilo.

This particular one went to a Mr. Arlon Bauer, north of Calgary.

Can anyone provide a update about these unique CMP's.. Especially Arlon's..?
