Default RNZAF 1942 Ford Fordor Staff Car

RNZAF 1942 Ford Fordor Staff Car.

RHD, black, painted grille and trim - looks like the cheapest no-frills version from the catalog. Reportedly, ten (10) examples of the 1942 Ford V8 Fordor were exported to New Zealand during the Second World War.

Note the census number "MT2230" on the bonnet and license plate "5209" on the front bumper which has retained it's chrome

Looks like the 1941 Ford with the bonnet/hood up is a 6 cylinder model by the radiator shape.

Default Dh 89

The DH89 air ambulance had plenty of space to land - probably 1000 square kilometres or more !

Picture of what looks to be a 1941 Ford Fordor C11A fitted with a roof rack. Location and date: the "Biltstraat" street in Utrecht, 7 May 1945. Judging by the flag, I think this is part of the Operation Faust convoys.

Cut-down C11ADF - somewhere in the Middle East or North Africa?
