I too am amazed. Now, Nuyt, what is the secret to getting into the archive? 20 minutes of screwing around and I finally got one thumbnail of a truck (vrachtauto) in a tobacco factory but could not enlarge it or get a link to the caption. Do I have to join the site or what?
The Chev could be 1948 to 1950, it is a bit hard to tell as the pic is a bit fuzzy. I tend to think most of those Fords and Chevs on this and a couple of other sites you two have found are 1949 models as 1948 was a bit early for exports and 1950 saw Holland in the "chitter" as far as world opinion was concerned out there and I would bet most US type vehicles came over in 1949.

As I have said before, the internet is becoming a volcano/earthquake/tidal wave of information and photos. I add an average of a site a day to my bookmark list and it is becoming overwhelming. Sadly, with the mix of languages, it sometimes takes a hell of a lot of time to "break the code" but in some cases it has brought a gold mine of new or different photos. Often, Russian/Finnish/Japanese/Chinese, the languages are not something I can really handle but if I get the right "key" words I can manage.

Keep the Dutch pics coming both you two and others. They are totally new to the softskin scene and very valuable from an historical standpoint.
