C15a In Your Picture
 

Hi Don,

The C15a shown in your second picture was featured in Convoy Magazine, Issue # 27, Page 25. The article indicated that the truck had been rescued by Jim Harrison and later donated to his local Region Branch. The picture you have shown is identical to the picture in the magazine. Not sure if the deal fell through but just thought I would share what I know with you as there have been situations where people have purchased trucks from people who didn't own them. Speaking from personal experience as one who had a truck sold by someone who did not own it. Good luck with whatever you decide in your restoration.

I have been talking to Jim about these trucks. He did mention a previous deal for them that had fallen through, and that he'd just bought them to save them from the crusher.

I can believe that it's happened before, especially since so many vehicles are found in barns and fields and such, but I have no doubts about this particular deal being on the level.

Nice CMP's, I also have the same idea of rebuilding my CMP to be more modern running gear (diesel motor) with the old school body. Right now it has a I-6 Chevy motor and four speed in it, works pretty good for being 40 years old. Just remember necessity is the mother of invention...

Ian is right about the cmp in the second picture.I did donate a cmp to the legion ,but it was one I picked up from Bill Spence in WPG. I still have these two cmps. A fellow club member spoke for them two years ago and backed out of the deal this fall.They can be had real cheap just to get rid of them, and I do own them . Thanks jim
