Dodge WC question

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Jan, Eduard,

Thanks for bringing up this interesting conversion which I have never seen before.

I would hazard a guess that the Soviets converted a number of Dodge weapon carriers into staff cars for high ranking officers. As suggested, a coach built job of an wooden frame clad in sheet metal, topped of with a canvas convertible top. That was the way these things were built back then, the construction method is nothing exotic.

Here's hoping more information comes to light one day.
