Description
DODGE WC 51 – Circa 1944 Year: 1944 Chassis number: 81735444 Vehicle registration document: // MOT: // Condition: straight out of storage History: Dodge off-road vehicles were first built in 1942 for the US Army. These light off-road pick-ups were produced in every conceivable variant for use by the US and European armed forces. There was nothing comparable before, nor anything as well-designed as these small vehicles. Four-wheel drive, seating between 3 and 10 people, in versions for transporting small troops, radio units, ambulances, bomb-towing vehicles, etc. All those that were decommissioned went on to have long careers within the French civil service – at EDF, the fire service, the Water and Forests Agency, and in agriculture. They have been used as breakdown lorries, railway wagon pushers and in agricultural applications. Condition: The vehicle on display is a troop and radio variant; it is in good condition but will require restoration as it was used in commemorative events until about ten years ago. It is fitted with a radio which does not appear to be a standard model; it may have been used by the armed forces in post-war Germany.
