Who Can Id this truck?

[Alex van de Wetering]

That has to be one of the Chevrolet CMP prototypes! Colin McGregor Stevens had pics of one or two prototypes on his website.

I was thinking the same thing, that the truck is one of the early pre-war prototypes before settling on the CMP concept. The 1938(?) Ontario licence plate kind of confirms the theory.

Hi Guys

You just got to love MLU in under two hours you provide to two IDs for the truck. With confirmation from two continents at that.

Now the next question is somebody going to buy the photo and add it to the collective knowledge base?

Cheers Phil

Phil;

The truck in question belongs to 'B' Company of The Royal Canadian Regiment, one of the three pre war Permanent Active Militia infantry regiments. 'B' Company was stationed at Stanley Barracks in Toronto, Ontario. Stanley Barracks was located in the Canadian National Exhibition grounds (Toronto), adjacent to the Automotive Building.

Clive: I've contacted the seller in reference to the photo. His listing states it's a reprint from the original negative. He may have the original negative, in which I don't think you'd have a problem buying a copy. Fingers crossed, I'll keep you posted.....Robert
