Chevrolet 15 CWT "D-Day 80 Anniversary"

During the 1930s, a series of production agreements were made for the production, by the Canadian subsidiaries of major American automobile manufacturers, of a line of trucks designed to meet the transportation needs of British troops and major Commonwealth countries. Production was increased significantly during World War II, and the "Canadian Military Pattern (CMP) trucks" accompanied Commonwealth troops on key European fronts, from the North African campaign to the invasion of Sicily and the Normandy landings. Rugged, reliable and highly effective in operational use, they were produced in numerous configurations and with a variety of roles, from military logistics to towing artillery. The CWT 15 version, with all-wheel drive and a good payload, was particularly appreciated.
