Default Ford Posters

I'm planning to do an album or 2 to show off the car one for the restoration and another about the military staff car side but was wondering if anyone knows or has seen posters with Ford staff cars from ww2 on them or posters about the subject

Default Staff car in Ford ads

Hanno and James.

I can't access it right now, but I know the gray hardcover "Ford Of Canada In Wartime" book does have one 1944 ad showing a staff car.

Default Ford Of Canada In Wartime - Book

My understanding is that each Ford Of Canada employee received a copy of the book. Mine came in a dust cover labelled to K. G. Lanspeary who seems to have been a cashier for the company. I did a bit of Googling and found a genealogy website listing a Kenneth G Lanspeary who lived 1922-1993 and is buried in Essex County, Ontario.

There is a Lanspeary Park in Windsor but no indication of whether Kenneth is related to the W.D. Lanspeary the park is named for.

The book is 10-1/2" x 12-1/2" which makes it an odd size and therefore awkward and expensive to reproduce so I will attach PDFs to this posting. pages 13, 25, 38, 39, 50 and 51 were blank so are not attached.

Default Great work!

Great work, thanks for putting these up here Grant.
I remember seeing this series when I visited Brian Gough some 16 years ago.

I'll share some on the CMP Facebook page if that's OK with you.
