US-built Ford 1942-model trucks in Allied service

[Bill Murray]

Hi Hanno & David:
I cannot recall the history of that 1942 Rumanian Ford exactly but I think it was just posted on a Rumanian modelling site with a lot of others with no comments.

I have no knowledge of 1942 model Fords being done in the UK and suspect it was not done. I would hazard a guess that this vehicle may have been one of those supplied under Lend Lease to Russia that ended up in Rumanian hands. Could have been seconded to them when they were under Russian control or captured from the Russians in the latter stages of the war.
