LTW 463 was Essex so likely Dagenham factory plate, Feb-March 47. |

So similar again to the 1941 Ford De Luxe Station Wagon JGN 802 which was also registered in 1947, but probably a little later in the year and in London.![[Image: mc13est010123a.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/558/mc13est010123a.jpg) Both also RHD. |

Someone who can understand US/CDN Fords better than my tentative attempts might be able to comment,but I might have found a track to follow. All UK postwar production seems to have been Pilot-based - assorted photos and pictures, which does not go anywhere useful. I've got a pamphlet on British woodies, which discusses 1930s V8s imported almost fully built from Canadian chassis at Windsor factory, Ontario with woodie bodies built by Iron Mountain factory in Michigan, US. UK tasks were final finishing for trim, wiring looms, and in late 30s installing UK V8s. This 1937 looks a typical example. Text then says there was no resumption after WW2, and the gap was filled with Piloty things, offering E71C Commercial chassis to various coachbuilders. So another apparent dead-end, but pamphlet has earlier section on the 1941 Canadian Ford C11ADF, with nearly 1500 supplied 1941-43 for WW2 staff car use, with a throwaway sentence that many were demobbed in 1947 for civilan use. A few pamphlet pictures look very similar - grille, wing lines, high roof, split screen - so expert comment needed. Noted also that we have LTW 463 already and another similar, both as C11 ADF. -- Last edit: 2021-03-20 17:16:56 |

I'm currently watching 3 Steps to the Gallows (1953), which I plan to add tonight if all goes well - and this particular wagon (LTW 463) is featured. I can say it's definitely a C11 ADF per bumpers, wheels and wing indicators, all of which are different on civilian '41 Ford Station Wagons. |

I have read somewhere that some civilian government departments got them during the war as well. -- Last edit: 2021-03-19 05:27:47 |

3 Steps to the Gallows (1953), 13 East Street (1952), Recoil (1953) and Impulse (1954) were all produced by Tempean Films. Likely therefore owned by the production company and also possibly used as a camera or support vehicle. It also turns up briefly in 'No Trace' (1950) again by the same production company. -- Last edit: 2021-03-17 20:47:48 |
