Armoured Cars
Thank you everyone for your replies. The armoured car which went to Manitoba was the Ford, and it would seem that, by February 1941, it had been sent back east again to join the Dragoons Chevrolet armoured car. The two cars were attached to the RCD's HQ Squadron and accompanied the unit when it transferred to Borden at the end of May 1941. Thereafter I have yet to ascertain what finally happened to them, nor why the LHS car was sent back east - could it be because the LSH was converted from Mechanized Cavalry to a Motor-Cycle regiment?.
If the pieces at the Milford yard are indeed from one of the 1935 cars, its probably from the Ford which had welded armour. I attach a picture of the Foird showing its fender and visons slot - Bruce does it look anything like what you recall seeing there?
