Hanno:
Your source: photos documenten en Indie was fabulous, especially all of the Chevrolet vehicles we so seldom see.
While the subject matter is certainly sad, it would seem to be that there were a number of photos of what I think were military funerals using Chevs as the casket bearer.
As a point of interest, your posting of that site made me go to the cellar again and fighting the spiders and now the mice, to look through a number of photo alblums my father gave to me that he took during his tour of duty in China 1937-1940. They show the same sort of life style for the expatriates as well as a lot of how China was in those days in general. Sadly, only a few vehicle photos which I will scan in when I get my scanner going. As a side note, if anyone here is into rikshaws (spelling?) my father seemed to be fascinated with them and there are lots of photos of me and my mother being squired around Peking (Beijing now) by various rikshaw drivers.
I also found a photo alblum from Dad during his stint in Iceland in 1941-1942 and there is one photo of an MH 4X4 that I will post eventually. It is the same vehicle Fred Crismon had in his book but it is not a posed shot, it is on an Icelandic road.
Well, got to go for now.
Bill
