Wow!

I wonder if the top bus is one of the ex-Green Line AECs that were used by the US and Canadian forces?

The next one down looks like the East End of London, but I really have no idea.

The third one is the 1934-5-6 Ford phaeton and station wagons, unless there's a 1934 Chevrolet truck in there! I have been looking for a decent shot of these for years!

The next one MIGHT be the 1929 Durant that the DND had that was sold in 1937 I think. Same comments apply!

The Buicks might be 1942 series 90 Limited Model Imperial Sedans. As used by HC Massey et al.

Nice photos Clive, here are a couple of slightly later model station wagons one has a almost identical body to your photo the other has a lot less ribbing both of these are fitted with military floatation tyres

Lightbulb Standard

Hello guys,
would anyone dig out a photo of a Standard other then Utility being used as a staff car? I am restoring a Standard Flying 12 limousine as one. I found information in our military archive on Standard 4-seat car in service with the Czechoslovak Independent Armored Brigade in the UK but there are no details. I guess the army used many donated civilian cars at the outbreak of WWII.

Cheers Dusan

Default Here is my best effort at a Canadian Staff car...

I had a non runner 39 Dodge D-13 and gave it a quick paint job this weekend. All I am interested in is a backround/gate guardian vehicle for pics behind my CMP stuff. I like it although it may not sastisfy the purist. I still may do the mickey mouse camoflage scheme. Cheers Rob

Default Staffcar Maj. Gen. A. Bruce Matthew 2nd. CID

Hello

Here's a photo of the staffcar belonging to Maj. Gen. A. Bruce Matthew, commander 2nd. Canadian Infantry Division.
The photo was taken 18th. April 1945 outside Groningen townhall after the germans had surrendered, the General visited the Major of Groningen.
I would like to know what kind of car this is.
