Default m38cdn period photos

Thanks so much for the info,gives me a place to start doing some research..I'm also trying to find some time period photos of Canadian m38s..I managed to piece together a decent unit out of 2 that I found..one was a hardtop with the gas heater that came out of a barn along with 22 others near Pembroke,this one had no c.f.r on the frame so I suspect its one of the 1st 300..no markings visible under the repaint..the 2nd one I used for the frame and vin plate mainly...I'm told there's very little to go by for info on these m38s..all I know is it was out of london..I suspect going thru old pics is my best chance of getting some info..does anyone know of a site that has such photos??..I've checked the R.C.R site with no luck

Default New to me M38A1 CDN 3 1971 CFR 09013

I picked up this Jeep a month or so back and it was pretty much unmolested besides a couple tow hitches and winch. Complete with all 24v electrical as well as a heater.This was actually the closet find I have come across. It was owned from 1987-2014 by the same individual. Going through the Vehicle Info Package the Name that keeps popping up is Willam Stilwell in Smiths Falls Ontario- Bills Garage. Does anyone know if this establishment is still in operation? Do they still have the records of all the vehicles they have bought and sold surplus from Gov Can Surplus? Does anyone have any info about this garage?

Thanks
Dave

Bill Stillwell had a lot of surplus dealings in the 1970's to 1990's from his home base in Smiths Falls, Ontario. At best I would say he has been retired for a decade or so. Many times he would be a buying agent for American companies like Sarafan who were interested in Crown Assets sales. Brian

Brian,

I wish I had his files as this would answer so many of our questions when it comes to info about our vehicles history.
