Default C8a HUM_ZL

Thanks Hanno,

Here are some photos of it in Normandy in June 2019 following a repaint in "Gosling Brown" and several other jobs including a new wiring loom, tyres, extra rear seat, new speedo cable and other small tasks.

Photos include: Arromanches beach on 6-6-19; Juno Beach Museum; impromptu HUP gathering at Tilly

Default Data plates (Research)

Just to add to this thread, here are some photos of the data plates of this HUM.

Dash plates

Body tags

CHRYSLER
SERIAL-NO
MACH-ZL-1-087

I am a bit puzzled about these though. While the Chevrolet plate says that this is a ZL-2, the Chrysler plate next to it clearly says ZL-1. I would love to see what other ZL-2s plates say. Maybe all Chrysler plates are ZL-1 and only the Chevrolet plates got the update?

Also interesting to note: My dash plate also has the C stamped in the upper half. It is stamped right on the 'M' from 'Vehicle Model'.
