Default One up, one past.

Here`s my 1944 HUW next up for restoration. The data plate says it's a 1C2 (i.e. no wheel well) yet it has one and 'should' be a 1C8. Sold many years ago and still out there is a 1942 HUW with a 1C2 body, now in Oshawa.

Default CMP's are addictive

13 cabs generally get you first but then you develop a sub-addiction for 11 and 12 cabs. There is no cure.

Default Mike, dare you bring up Ford vs. Chev??

Well OK then. You started it.

"Say Mike, that's not a rumble. It's the gurgle you hear just before the (Ford) fuel pump quits...."

Shot, over...

(Heads down Chev lads...incoming....)

Default HUP disease is contagious

Hi Gordon,

The C8A - one of my favourite CMP models. Currently I have a nearly restored 1943 HUP, the prototype (from late 1941) and two others in the parts source category.

Based on some very incomplete information I have gathered over the years, I estimate there are a minimum of 45, just in Canada, counting those restored and under restoration by collectors, and those in museums, wrecking yards, wildflowers and some still working.

Worldwide and including the C8AX, I think there are more than 150 'survivors', found in at least 13 countries (and possibly 15) including Australia, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, France, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden and the United States.

Cheers,

Brian

Default C8a hup

Is this a C8A HUW model ?

Was wondering if anyone has heard how M.Perry is doing with his HUP restoration?
