1941 Ford V8 C11ADF Staff Car (11A-79)

Although it is a bit over-restored and fitted with the wrong wheels. But I would not complain if I had it sitting in my garage! Quote:

C11AD Ford at auction
Of interest in a Tom Mack Auction on Dec. 2, 2017 in Birmingham Alabama is a C11AD Ford Station Wagon. Looks restored but I am not familiar with the details of this car. It does have US-style tail lights in the photos. Part of a larger car collection liquidation. This has to be a rare vehicle!

this car was on the block before a few years ago out of CA if I remember, 100K last time,
|
Really? 100K? Was that the asking price or the selling price? Or have you added one too many zeros on there.
Certainly a nice piece. Would be nice to see it come back to Canada. |

I believe this was the same car. From back in 2009.

Impressive selling price. It will be interesting to see what it gets this time around.
|
Has anyone seen a posted selling price for this C11AD that was sold at this auction? I have had not luck.

C11adf?
3 Attachment(s)
Just seen this post for the first time. It certainly appears to be the same vehicle that was sold about 2009 I think. If you look at the three quarter photo I have posted you can see it is fitted with the F8 rear axle, so assume semi-elliptical springs, which would make it ADF transmission configuration. Extended rear wheel arches also correct but it is should be on 900x13's although it appears to be on 16 inch wheels which have a strange centre. Interestingly one of the photos from the original sale collection shows the dash which is not fitted with the three auxiliary switches for Dash, Convoy and tail blackout which was standard on both the C11ADF and C11AS models? Is it genuine?
For clarification the C11AS (Special) was a military specification based on the 1941 C11A Ford Deluxe Station Wagon. (torque tube, standard axle and transverse spring) 16 inch wheels and was a seven seater. The C11ADF was fitted with F8 axle, prop shaft and semi-elliptical springs but still on standard car three speed box and column change and fitted with 900x13's. Information I have indicates 235 C11AS's were produced, which included a few 42 model, and 633 C11ADF's , all shipped overseas. I am currently in the final stages of refurbishing a C11AS here in the UK. Attachment 96396 Attachment 96397 Attachment 96398 |

Regarding the American rear lights mentioned, I would assume these have been fitted to provide stop/tail and indicator in a 'military' configuration.
Originally both models were fitted with a single early pattern rubber tail light on each side. I followed this original configuration but had to fit two each side to give all required road legal lighting. Just noticed the auction vehicle is fitted with the wrong rear bumper. The C11AS was fitted with a bumper of the same profile as the front, which was to offer protection for the spare wheel and carrier. The C11ADF however was fitted with a straight bumper as the spare wheel was stowed in the rear body space. Tow /tie down rings were only fitted to the AS model. Attachment 96399 Attachment 96400 |

Some photos via favcars dot com; looks like they got them from the RM Sotheby's auction catalogue. These are the only photo's I could find back on the internet, I am pretty sure at the time of auction there were many more on the RM Sotheby's auction site.

Ian McCallum wrote: "thought it may be the Nick Alexander example on seeing the wheels. Can't recollect any photos showing the underside but one of the dash did not show any auxiliary switches or data plate. Would have been nice to have known its history prior to restoration. The Nick Alexander’s dash, no auxiliary switches or data plate above speedo, as fitted to all contract ADF’s and AS’s and see on mine."

Ian McCallum noted “interesting in looking at the Chassis numbers I have managed to collect, including my own, they all follow the same sequence of 2D-xxxx-F which is completely different from that shown in the Auction details.”
So I get the impression this Station Wagon was not a C11ADF originally |
Hanno.
In the last photo of your Post. #10, the wooden tool box in the trunk is actually the wooden tool box for a Wireless Set No. 52 Canadian, painted up the same colour as the vehicle by the looks of it. David |
I stand corrected, Hanno.
The lid on this tool box sits a lot deeper than the one for the 52-Set. Same overall design, however. David |
