Re: Beute- and Umbauwagen
no answer in "Oklopna Vozila i Oklopne Postrojbe u Drugom Svjetskom Ratu u Hrvatskoj, II. dio"
This armored car appeared in anti-partisan in 1942, supporting the Prinz Eugen.
(source: Tankograd German Panzers & Allied Armour in Yugoslavia in WWII page 44-45 by Bojan Dimitrijevic)
I thought to commercial cs8 Morris.
A picture of this armored car is in the Panzerwrecks 2 page 29 top left, captured near Ljubljana in May 1945.

The armoured car has left hand drive so despite the very WD looking wheels it is an ex British truck.

Clive, do you not mean "it is NOT an ex-British truck" ?

Re: Beute- and Umbauwagen
Nice find, Jose:
I would definitely say it is a civilian vehicle, perhaps used by the military.
Note that the vehicle has no headlamp covers, no Notek and no white stripes on the fenders/mudguards.
This would indicate either a prewar photo or one taken in an area that was not subject to air attacks, perhaps the Netherlands in the early 1940's.
In any case, a rare photo of a rare vehicle and thanks for that.

It looks to me like a funeral.
The car looks like a car that carries the coffin in the back .....

Hi Willem,
You have sharp eyes. I think like You that it is a hearse, not on a road, but on a small path on a cemetery.
Regards

Hi Jose85:
Correct on all counts.....
Some interesting soft skins coming up lately, thanks for finding and posting them.
The two Chevrolets are Chevrolet "Imperial" models. Almost exclusively sold in Europe and imported for the most part through GM Continental in Antwerp, Belgium. I am pasting a thread here from another site that discusses these cars in some detail that you may find interesting. Unfortunately, some of the links do not work as the author passed away a few years ago and his sites seem to have disappeared. Still some good information.
