Some Canadian Military Pattern trucks, like many other WWII military vehicles, transferred to civilian use after the conflict. The LAA tractor was no exception and we see it here in the highly unusual livery, as used by the Western National Royal Blue bus and coach group. Royal Blue would have used these as support vehicles, so this vehicle will appeal not only to collectors of military vehicles but also to 1:76 scale bus collectors.
Registered JUO 54, the dark blue body with slightly lighter 'canvas' back and black chassis is relieved solely by the Royal Blue cream lettering along the lower sides of the vehicle and features the Western National winged logo on the cab doors. Fine details include the brown canvas window panel and the rope ties along the sides. Finally, the General Manager's details and the Exeter address are printed in white behind the front wheel.
