Hi Sturm:

I believe it is an International TD14 as seen below. I believe my photo was taken in a Finnish museum display.

I just wanted to say thank you to Sturm78 and Markus for posting the 1937 Chevy photo (and identifying it of course).

I am a modeller and I am currently constructing a 1/72 Continuation War Finnish 'army'. I was very pleased to see the above photos because Minairons is about to release a 1937 Chevrolet kit...So now I have reference for it.

Thanks,

Steve

Camouflaged road, 10 kilometers of road was camouflaged with fir trees suspended in the air due to a Soviet observation post.

Hi sturm:

I have been going back and forth between Scania and Volvo regarding this "Bulldog Bus".

Based mainly on the type of wheels, I believe it is a Volvo but I am not positive. I will keep looking but I think I am probably correct.

Oy Dentaldepot Ab was located at Eteläranta 2 in Helsinki. During war years the company made amalgam, dental chairs and equipment.

Hi there,
I belive it's a McCormick (International Harvester) TD-14 model 1939 fitted with narrow tracks. Note flat top panel, the perforated front plate is optional (it's hard to find one in US-used kits). The SA-Kuva shows many of them, but it's difficult to find two exactly the same ones.
Cheers,
Pawel
