Default GPW?

I always thought that the Canadian Liverpool Jeep was a GPW....at the same time British-order GPWs were being assembled in the works.

Don't forget that this was up to end April '45....and assembly only finished in September and October 1945 depending on company, and even then there were still "saloon cars" that were on their way to Canadian order [must be C8A HUPs I think] that the Ministry of Supply said could be assembled in one or two depots that would contunue working for some time. In that respect we know that GM Limited in Bamber Bridge, near Preston, and Cleckheaton, Yorkshire, continued on until 1946. However I discount them as they were and had been for some years, refurbishing works. I suspect that LEP Transport would have been the last Chevrolet assemblers, with CMD in Slough the last Ford assemblers.
