Ford/Marmon-Herrington MGT's

[nuyt]

Hi Bill, here is another scan (it is actually a scan from a fotocopy, so there are some limits to quality...)

You are right about the terrain roller, there is no visible winch on this particular vehicle. Was it at the rear?

The roller makes it I think definitively a US-sourced vehicle and not a DAF pre-war conversion. Also the body style/cover make it different from Dutch-sourced Fords. (and those would have had to be delivered/shipped before May 1940).

Checked Bart Vanderveen's directory and p 334 shows a Ford11Y/MH (albeit as a Bomb service truck) which was a 1941 commercial chassis.

Probably a cash paid direct Netherlands Purchasing Commision order to MH...Hanno?

Oh, I forgot: it seems to be a rhd vehicle. Did MH do that?

Kindest regards,
Nuyt
