Aussie DeSoto Ute

[Mike Cecil]

Dave,

You have acquired a very rare vehicle in Australian service.

My records indicate only a small number of De Soto 12 cwt utilities (with P12-prefix chassis numbers) utilities in AMF service and only one in RAN service (in 1945). There were also a couple of sedan cars. Of course, I may not have found records of all those used by the three Australian services, but I doubt I missed very many. When you find a chassis number, please post it here. ** corrected as per Tony's post see below ***
