Thoughts
I forgot to remind that just as in the UK, up to say 1940, Canadian DND vehicles had civilian registrations, and they were registered in the Province where they were first allocated at one stage. In addition Ontario "Trade Plates" were also used by the DND for trials vehicles. I have thought that the Trade Plates were used later than 1940 for testing vehicles not yet allocated a Census Number but does anyone know better? A photo of a GT in Spring 1940 is the last I can recall.
I have never thought that the middle "1" meant 1,000.....there were jusat not enough vehicles at the time to justify it. I have a complete list of all the 1938 Chevrolet G/S trucks and this seems to confirm my personal opinion.
