Car Wireless Ford Phaeton 1936 1

A circa 1940 photo featuring two vehicles.

The first is a 1936 Ford Phaeton outfitted for wireless. "A" Squadron Royal Canadian Dragoons had two such vehicles, the Lord Strathcona's Horse had three and the Fort Garry Horse had one.

The second vehicle is a cab-11 8-cwt Canadian Military Pattern truck.

This photo date isn't known however the first vehicle has a 1940 Quebec license plate. In 1940 it's likely that the vehicles were outfitted with a Wireless Set No. 11 but when they were acquired in 1936 it would have been a Wireless Set No. 1.
