After Germany surrendered in May 1945 to end WWII in Europe, the country was divided into occupation zones. As a member of the US Army I was in a part of Germany that was assigned as the Russian Army of Occupation area. The Russian soldiers arrived walking or riding in Model AA Ford stake body trucks. In the week I spent in the Russian zone, as the occupying forces moved in, I saw no motorized vehicles except Model AA Ford stake body trucks. The troops were friendly but I none I personally met spoke English. I had two Model A's waiting for my return home.

Those are great photos! Are they technically Fords? I thought I read at one time that they were built in Russia with the same specs but were called something different.
Barnstuf, very interesting and on a related note my uncle was a pilot, he flew the Berlin Airlift.

This looks like 30-31 style fenders, hood, cowl, etc. The roof and visor are more 28-29 but the windshield is shorter. The position of the door handles almost looks like suicide doors. Maybe a custom body?


The phaeton has a radiator shell like 30-31 AA without the "widow's peak". A peculiarity of Russian production?
