Hello Tony,

Yes, we need to do some more research on Ford's 1945 C291Q models. I think we should go back and study:

1) available source documentation to get a clear listing of contracts and corresponding vehicle configurations;

2) a field survey of known surviving examples;

3) "counting heads" or the ongoing study of period photographs (as you have done above).

Due to the limited nature of available reference sources, there is a risk of "educated guesswork". If we have made any assumptions, we should make note of them.

In this case it, is vital to state that the designation "1945 C291Q.L-W Lorry, 30cwt, 4x4, Water" you have labelled the above photos with, is your own interpretation of what "C291Q.L-W" stands for.

Thanks,
Hanno
