thank You very much for posting and sharing these pics. Very interesting, above all the pic with the Graham Umbau. I think this pic was taken in Monte Carlo, Monaco.

Re: Umbauwagen
I cannot remember if this has been posted before, but this 1938 Chevrolet bears a marked similarity to the earlier Graham umbau. The construction of the rear bed looks very similar, as does the camouflage paint job. The uniforms are also very similar, Southern European at a guess, so Italy is a definite possibility,

Re: Umbauwagen
Hello,
I haven´t been here for a while lot of awesome new photos! Thanks for posting. For the "Umbauwagen series production" , as a oddball softskins geek -I´ve noticed some groups of vehicles with a simillar looking conversions-some of these were discussed on AHF. But i think most of them look too rough to be made by even "village" commercial coachbuilder, especially those open bodies on personal cars. (repair shop,carpenter, or blacksmith? ) The closed bodies-ambulances,radio cars,workshops... are other story.

Hi,
The photo captioned as the "bare bones of an Einheits Diesel", I believe is really the chassis of a medium field car, Stutzrader.

Re: Umbauwagen
Ok Markus,
I misread your input, you had already said it was a Horch chassis.

Re: Umbauwagen
Two more interesting US type umbaus, a rather unusual Oldsmobile and a Chevrolet, Kerry.
Re: Umbauwagen
Back on page one of the thread Bill posted a photo of a Gaz(?) cabrio. I recently got these two photos, which I think are somewhat similar. I am not sure if both represent the same car, but one had at least one hubcap and a folded roof.
What do you think?

Hi,
here an interesting pic. Here You can see how they built an Umbauwagen out of a normal flatbed truck (source of the pic: an expired ebay auction).

Re: Umbauwagen
An excellent find and Thank You, Bert!!
Chrysler products in general and Plymouth in particular were not very popular in pre-war Europe so you don't see very many.
Edit: I should mention here that Chrysler products were marketed fairly aggressively in Sweden and Finland and I have lots of photos of various vehicles from that company in my files. ANA (Automobiles Nyköping AB) in Sweden, the Chrysler importer just before the war, sold a lot of Chrysler products in those two countries.
