hi all
as the story goes, just after the war, a company in ST. Stephen, N.B., purchased a quantity of cmp's, which may have been new, and unassembled. apparently, they were sold in the western side of the province. for years i have wondered what ever happened to them, why none had ever turned up. then, this past weekend i recieved an e mail from andrew wetmore, who works in Hartland, N.B. apparently he was out driving around and spotted an old cmp sitting in a yard. he stopped to take pictures and talk with the owner, who told him that he had several cmp's which he had all but used up, this being the last one. if you look at the steel in the crane, those channels sure look like cmp frames. this truck started life as an f15a, but by the looks of it, recieved several donated parts from other cmp trucks. apparently it continues to run on a flat head v 8. maybe this is where all the ST. Stephen cmp's ended up?
cheers!!
mike
