I quite like the look
Hopefully it will be picked up by the right hands ,restored and displayed.
A significant piece of CMP history

If you follow the link to the earlier thread provided by Yeo.NT, one will read this is possibly the fourth survivor:

Here are the Ford limited production types. It has been estimated that 6 or 8 were made. Three of these survive.
1. Dr. Bill Gregg's restored, went to the RCA Musuem in CFB Shilo in 1985 (I did the appraisal). I have photos but none on my web site yet.
2. Gary Moonie has one, partly restored in BC. Old photo from Blueprint For Victory.
3. The Canadian War Museum has one partial one (cab and cowl) in Ottawa. Found by Jim Fraser of Arnprior in the CFB Petawawa area apparently.
