Your vehicle is assuredly a GM product but a bit strange for a raid car as if you look at the relationship of the German troops size to the vehicle it appears to be based on a light truck chassis as opposed to a passenger car. The wheels/tyres also seem to indicate something other than a passenger car chassis. Or, by 1944 the Germans may have just been putting whatever wheels/tyres they could find on anything that was still running.
you are right Bill. I would say a 15cwt to 1 ton light truck chassis. This would also explain the wheels and tyres.

I too wait in anticipation of this as well
