Dating CMP F15A

[Keith Webb]

Hi Lyle

In general terms, dating by the front shell:

No name under headlights - 1942

Just 'FORD' 1943

'FORD CANADA' 1944-5

Round guages is associated with 44-5 pattern as is (in Canada) the round type roof hatch. The very latest CMPs had a removable piece in the upper part of the front shell behind the grille to facilitate engine removal, and an even later feature was the vacuum wipers inverted with a relief stamped in the upper windcreen (windshield) frame to incorporate them. They also tended to have a lot of radio bonding straps.
