Default Hard-Copy Records

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,

Default Another M38A1CDN

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.

Hi Bernard,
Dave has just confirmed that it wasn't Brian DOB, but may be his wife's.

Default CFR's with YY-33XXX series

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.
