Chevrolet Military Pattern Ambulance
During World War 2 Canada produced a collection of unique and endurable softskin vehicles known as 'CMP', or Canadian Military Pattern. These vehicles served every Commonwealth army in every theatre of war. The many surviving examples are a testament to the engineering excellence incorporated in their design and manufacture.
As early as 1935, the British government had begun to make inquiries as to Canada's potential as a manufacturing base for a wide variety of war-related goods. One objective was to standardize a new series of military vehicles which would be acceptable in British service, but designed for Canadian manufacturing processes.Prototypes were undergoing rigorous testing by 1939, and all-out production by 1940. By September 1945, Canada had produced almost 410,000 CMP vehicles.
