Ford Canada Conventional and Modified Vehicles

[Hanno Spoelstra]

RNZAF 1942 Ford Fordor Staff Car.

RHD, black, painted grille and trim - looks like the cheapest no-frills version from the catalog. Reportedly, ten (10) examples of the 1942 Ford V8 Fordor were exported to New Zealand during the Second World War.

Note the census number "MT2230" on the bonnet and license plate "5209" on the front bumper which has retained it's chrome
