After the war,most of these that were sold off as surplus had the back of the body cut off and were used as wreckers,etc. The body was shared by both Ford and GM.I have seen one that has been rebuilt.

StanleyRegister Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 The immortal Mercer Raceabout. This one was just 2 or 3 years old when this photo was taken. Then-owner Wally Holland later modified it with a tapered hood and a cowl, and presumably it's now gone. It's a 1915 California plate - as far as I can tell, the available online CA registation books skip over 1915. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attached is a picture of a model kit. Jim Canada made 500,000 of these in WW2, more than the total of all trucks made in Germany Italy and Japan. They were supplied to the British and Canadian military starting in 1939. Thousands remained in Britain after the war and some were in use up to the 1970s and 80s. They turn up all over the world wherever the British army went. There are even some in Australia.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Military_Pattern_truck Edited March 24, 2020 by Rusty_OToole (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.H.Boland Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 The Canadian Military Pattern trucks were so robust and reliable that they were prized by the Germans too. This is a type 11 cab 1500wt captured and repurposed with an anti-aircraft gun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
