Read part of the book. 1933 Chev armoured police car bodied by National Steel Body Products Kansas City Missouri. Kind of kinky, what.

Nother. 1938 Dodge 4x4 T200 for Franco's Army I would guess.
Just realized I "stole" it from Bart. He sent me an original pic in 1968

Still having problems with scanner. Here is one from upstairs from the master photo file. Who cares what kind of truck it is, what kind of horses are these?

Nuyt: The catalog is for 1940 models although the small clips show a number of earlier years. I have never seen a convertible but anything is possible.

Cliff: I assume you have thoroughly gone through the AWM photo file. I have dozens of MH shots from there. Let me know if you have not gotten a good pick of their materiel. BTW, the 40 Ford is available in 2 door coupe, 2 door sedan, convertible and panel delivery form in 1/24 and 1/25 scales. I have at least one of all of them plus a resin 4 door body from, of all places, Australia.
Sadly, as I mentioned in another thread, the only 1940 full size truck I have seen is the 1/16 scale stake/tray.
Bill

Again, off to a reasonable start.
I guess this will jsut be the oddball forum.
1938 Desoto Staff Car Finnish Army (1940) from an obscure Finnish magazine no longer in print.
I told you I had some odd stuff

One more and then to lunch. This is a Mexican Dodge VF 1937.
A similar pic is in one of Bart's books only this one is without the cover over the body.

I must say I am quite self satisfied right now, having scanned in several pics in a row of different sizes and managing to get them to post here. I will not disclose how I figured it out as Hal is always lurking about and I don't want him messing with me.
I do apologize for the size of the pics, I still am on a steep learning curve, but at least they are going out over the ethernet.
Cheers.
Bill

Lousy lunch. A real "personal photo". This is a 1941 Ford MH used by my father's Battalion in Iceland 1941 and is from his personal alblum. Sorry for the quality.
