Unfortunately many of the records were either not saved or are still awaiting declassification at LAC. Andrew was challenged to find documentation in which to write his M38A1CDN book.

Brian , I think that Colleen's A1 sort of blows your idea of 33XXX for the Willys vehicles out of the water as her A1 is a Ford CFR 53-33192 , I need to get the CFR's off of the frame of my other 3 53 A1's and see what they have to tell,

This M38Al CDN was once owned by retired RCAF Lt. General Donald C. Laubma. He told me that he purchased it at a surplus action in Germany and had it paint blue before shipping it back to Canada. The number on the frame is 53-32794 engine number MD38710. The data plate with serial number is missing.

Frank,
My posting was not clear: I was referring to all M38 and M38A1 jeeps with CFR's of the format YY-33xxx; not just Willys. I propose that a block of CFR's ending in 3xxx was used for a variety of general uses: initially for Canada's 1951 Willys jeeps and later possibly for Ford jeeps that may have had special equipment added or had been rebuilt and assigned a new CFR. There are several photos of M38's with recoiless rifles in Germany in the 1960's with CFR's: 51-33293, 51-33368 etc.: most certainly Willys M38. There are at least three 1951 Willys M38's in Ontario with 51-33xxx. Chris Vickery posted on MLU of his Willys M38A1: 53-33136. |
