Richard Farrant Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Has any of you seen ever in real life an Indian Dodge PWC9?? [ATTACH=CONFIG]106824[/ATTACH] Looks like a Fordson Thames ET with 4 wheel drive conversion. The Indian Dodges used the Kew Dodge cab, commonly known as 'parrot nose'. Could be wrong.

wally dugan Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 while the Fordson and the Dodge have similar designed cabs the Dodge grill has a vertical bar down the centre of the grill so l have to agree with Richard that the one in the picture looks more like a Fordson ET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Johns Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Its a Fordson, here is a 1950 Road test of the 4X4 converted Fordson Thames, modified by Harpers, Guildford Surrey http://archive.commercialmotor.com/article/28th-july-1950/44/converting-4x2-to-4x4 Edited August 13, 2015 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon_M Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Indian Dodge ? Hmm, the only reference I've ever seen to an Indian Dodge was one image of what looked like a standard 41-45 Dodge WC 4 x 2 half ton chassis and windscreen cowl with a locally built woody body on it - can't remember where though.

Gordon, See Bart's book, Observers Military Vehicles Directory from 1945, page 230, Dodge PWC-95, which is a British Dodge Kew model cab from early 1950's.

Tony B Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Intrestingly, in the background of pictures of the wreckage of Comet G-ALYV at Calcutta in 1953, there is a WC51 or 52 on the ridge above the site. See Movitone News clip. Edited August 13, 2015 by Tony B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
