Another, an IHC waggon that could have gotten out to the war period, I think it is a 1940 model

If I remember correctly, that is the E83W model. When I was at school, the local garage delivered the meals with a truck version, it was always breaking down and needed push starting. Richard |

I like the 'Woody' but it appears to have had very narrow doors. OK for a skinny rake like me though

Your D2 pic is a 1939 or older.The 1940-on had sealed-beam headlights which necessitated small park light lenses stuck on top of the headlight buckets. The older ones just had a small bulb inside the big lens. Cool little truck--my buddy has one similar, but steel-bodied, an ex-bakery truck. I drove a pickup like that to school in the 'sixties, but mine had a Dodge hemi under the hood (when it had a hood!)

Seeing all the oddball stuff is great..It inspired me to dig out my collection of Timken News ... Timken printed a news paper back in the '30's with pictures of all the different manufacturers that used their axels and gears.. The pictures are plentiful and diverse.. I'll scan a few of the names I recognize.. Here is one for Hanno.. It shows a MH 6X6 ,36 passanger,over all length with trailer..67'...from 1933 that pulled a Pullman and first class trailer from Bagdad to Damascus Syria..For a guy 6'6",this would be an ideal camper..and if he dosen't find out what is causing all those little kids he'll need one for sure.. If you have any special US trucks you want me to look up I'll see if there are any in there.. The series I have runs'33,'34,and 1935...

If I may correct it slightly I would say a little other story. This is not transport-related, and if so then on very small scale.
This is pre-WWII Polish Army Signal Service. Foreground dog cart contains ammo containers for heavy machine gun. Background dog cart is Type B Cable Drum for field phones. The dogs in deeper background are equipped with pigeon containers. Best regards C. |

OOOPS
Evening Crewman:
As you posted a smilie at the end of your remarks, I hope I did not offend you but if so please accept my apology. Perhaps my sense of humour is a bit odd at my advanced age. Certainly, in the field of motor transport, the Ursus and Polski Fiat vehicles were highly regarded and widely used by the Germans after the fall of Poland. May I add that all amateur and professional military historians, including myself, have nothing but admiration for the tenacity and bravery of the Polish Armed Forces in that conflict. Good military organization, bad political organization and that is the story of many of the early conflicts of the 1939-1945 War. Ne zdrowie!!! Bill

Of course you did not do it. I am not gloomy nationalist and am able to laugh at various aspects of our Polish military affairs both pre-WWII and present. Best regards C. |

milego dnia
OK, crewman, I think we will become friends.
Thank goodness for Google and Polish/American greetings. I am fluent in most all of the Scandinavian and Hispanic/Romance languages but not in yours, so will use that resource from time to time. I think you will find this a most interesting forum, but you from time to time, must have a rather thick skin. We Anglo-Saxons have a rather strange sense of humour. But on the other hand, I suspect that you Poles do as well. Ne zdrowie, again

re: E83W pics
Hi
As well as housing a moderately large Dodge I'm also quite fond of the little E83W trucks, as at the head of this thread - any chance of a better scan of the brochure to put on my e83w site??? cheers Rick www.e83w.co.uk

Bastard yank spin doctors!
(With apologies to Bill:love: ) I've never yet seen a Dodge Ambulance with the spare tire (!) on the right hand side, so pictures 007110-C and 007156-E must be reversed to give the impression that the Dodge Mound Road plant is churning out thousands of vehicles. Propagandists! Look at the background, this deft slight of hand must have had the Germans baffled for minutes.

Also the pic No. 001321 looks strange. It looks like crash test. No visible driver, also the wheels are rather small (without tires?). Good wartime military public relations C. |

Bingo!!!!!
Look also at the flags in the two pics, hard to see but it is blowing two ways. Also, the spotlight is on different sides of the windscreen depending on which photo you look at. Nice detective work. BTW, I think the first photo is sort of legitimate but they may have increased the gradiant to add to the effect. All is fair in Love and War, No? Bill

Looks like the same pic, flopped and cropped - spare tire carrier on both sides? And look at the shape of the puddle and the position of the jeep, relation of water tower to buildings, etc.

Now if you're looking for something by Dodge that you won't see every day, try this one. I know pretty much exactly what this is but does anyone else want to guess ? I have a larger version of the image but can't circulate it at the minute as it will be appearing in a forthcoming article and I don't want to upstage publication......
