The article in this link: http://www.rb.no/bil/article3568476.ece shows some pictures of HMV's in deep storage in some army facility in Norway, including a Chevrolet CMP.

The article is from the Defence Museum nearby Oslo. Or the storage they have.
And as all of you know, Norway have no money so they can not make a proper museum for all the goodies they have...
The storage is full of many very interesting vehicles that you seldom see.
Both allied and German.

What about all that crude oil Norway sucks out of the North sea !

I don't know who this chap is. Is he trying to communicate with that Blitz? He has his hands out in a soothing or begging gesture, maybe he is praying to the Blitz god "please, please start for me" ..... I know, I have to get out more .

Mike, I think he´s just pointing out the beauty of a Cab 13. . . . meanwhile he´s wishing it was a Ford. . .

I have found generally that because the chevs dont break down as much we have a lot more time to talk and not have to spend so much time fixing or rebuilding
