Default The Last Soldier

Hi

Last month, I visite the "MUSEE DES BLINDES DE SAUMUR" (armoured museum car) in the west of FRANCE.
Behind the main displays halls, there are some garages where are stored vehicles and armored cars waiting for restoration.
Among them, I saw 3 CMP : one FORD CANADA F60L with ZL machinery body type 5F7 and 2 CHEVROLET C60L: one with
an original composite body and the other with a non original water tank.

These trucks are the last CMP trucks used by French army (NAVY) and they belong to the last batch sold in BREST at the end of the sixties years .
In WHEELS and TRACKS log, an information had been wrote about this sale. Happyly, all trucks were buy by military vehicles
collectors (mainly from NEDERLAND) because in France people are not very interressed by this kind of truck.
Inside the body of the F60L we can see machine tools and I think that there are all original.

Regards Serge
