Nice touch keeping that panel. Even though the HUP never saw any military service, Dominion was a very long and important part of it's history. Have you been able to find a mate for the rear interior lamp? That item was on my wish list forever, along with a replacement Lub Chart??? that was mounted on the driver's door. The one on the truck was original but had been worn smooth over part of it from many years of 'driver's elbow'.

David, I found the second lamp, but I continue to seek both charts - the lube and the electrical. I have the original worn out lube chart, a spare divider upper frame (which will eventually make its way out west) and a spare rear door.

I will post some before and after photos when I get back home next week.

Default Hey David....

you need to get all those old 35 mm and polaroid pics of your history with the CMP hobby scanned and up here. Very enjoyable to view. Cheers Rob

Default On the road to rouen

Canadian Army Newsreel - The Road to Rouen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZJj5-CxUL8 - at the 39 second mark - at the end of the column of tanks and possibly in the foreground as the prisoner is marched past.

Some good shots of other CMPs throughout.

Default Hup in monuments men movie

Seen near the beginning of the movie after D-Day landings.

Strange to see "foreign kit" in a US movie, but then again, look at what the Monument's Men are driving...

The C8 in Monuments men has its head lights moved outwards, this done to most of the Danish CMP's, could this be an ex danish one? or was the same done in other countries?
