1944 Chevrolet C15TA Armoured Truck
| 1944 Chevrolet C15TA
Armoured Truck Produced at the General
Motors plant in Oshawa Ontario, the C15TA 's
primary role was that of an armoured personnel carrier
in the forward areas of the battlefield. |
This particular truck was transferred
to the Dutch Army (KL) at the end of the war. Having finally been
declared surplus it was bought by the Dieffenbach Collection in
Belgium. Dirk Leegwater from Holland bought the vehicle in March
2001. Both he and his son Stefan brought it back to its former glory
with a complete restoration. They had it ready and participated in
the 60th aniversary celebrations at the Normandy beaches in
2004.
After a bout of serious haggling
Barry Churcher sealed a deal and is now the current owner. Of the
3,961 produced, as far as research has shown, there are only 5 of
these vehicles left in Canada with this one being the only one
licensed for the road. Certainly a very rare vehicle.
