WD Spec Vehicles
I have just been looking through AHQ-38-72-335, there are masses of correspondence there from 1936-40 between DND and Ford and GM on the topic of 15 and 30 CWT WD spec vehicles. But little new on the subject of the armoured cars beyond the fact that - as David points out - both companies had learnt to get firmer committments from DND before agreeing to undertake pilot projects. By the way, once my monograph comes out, that RCAC website will need a few corrections in its entry on the armoured cars. I would say DND collaboration with Ford and GM goes back well before 1934.
