I would like to find out more about the vehicles the photos of which I append. They are obviously American civilian cars (at least thats what I assume) from the early 40s but their location is very odd. The photos were taken in Burma towards the end of WW2. The military vehicles in the background of two shots support this. They are from an old album whose provenance is known. The photographer was with the British army in Burma for several years, almost certainly in a signals unit, unfortunately he died in the 1960s. Photos in the album appear to be chronologically sequenced with the early ones clearly in India and the ones just before these show a series of Burmese temples, the ones just after show docks - so this is possibly Rangoon. I can probably identify the cars (although any advice welcome) but what are such shining examples of expensive automobiles doing in Burma at this time. I suspect that they must belong to some high powered types, military or civilian. Possibly the plates may give some clue - they are not British or (I think) American. Any help welcome
