civilian halftrack

[Bob Phillips]

I think Tony is correct, on extreme magnification and with my best glasses on, it certainly seems to read Mont Joli, which is along the south St Lawrence river shore in Quebec. I got this photo from an Almaguin area history page (Sundridge area) and assumed incorrectly it was a local photo. It also appears to be a non link style track, but not one I am familiar with. I always thought that the only common civilian half tracks in this part of the world were Linn tractors. There was also the early Ford half track conversion (now at the CWM) that came out of the Charlie Laister auction in 1971. And I believe one of our contributors on this forum (Huntsville area)has the remains of some odd half track drive in one of his sheds.
