Ford Model E01A (was: US Staff Car?)

[Ian McCallum]

As originally posted by David Haywood (RIP) there is no mention of a EO1A in the British Ford listing of wartime produced vehicles. However Ford did produce a Spare Parts Manual for the EO1A which shows two illustrations indicating they produced/modified both a Standard and Deluxe model and shows them as 73A and 73B, which again did not show on the listings. However in the Ford Listings of 1942 it does show both a Standard and Deluxe 01A, the correct designation for the US produced 1940 model. It also indicated these are imported and modified, hence the 900x13's wheel arch extensions and semaphore indicators shown in the illustrations and obviously remaining LH Drive.
