550233 1:35 Chevrolet 15 CWT
Throughout the 1930s, a series of production agreements were established for
the manufacture, by the Canadian subsidiaries of major American automobile
manufacturers, of a line of trucks designed to meet the transport needs of
British troops and the principal countries of the Commonwealth. Production
was significantly increased during
World War II, and the “Canadian Military Pattern (CMP) trucks” accompanied
Commonwealth troops on major European fronts, from the North African
campaign to the invasion of Sicily, to the Normandy landing. Robust,
reliable, and particularly effective in operational use, they were produced
in numerous configurations and with various roles, from military logistics
to artillery towing. The CWT 15 version, with four-wheel drive and good load
capacity, was particularly appreciated.
