Isn't that a '40?
I've got a book, 'Ford at War", on WWII German Fords...Germany had its own Ford factory of course, and used many more Fords from occupied areas and foreign armies. Ford trucks were the main transport, and according to the book all or virtually all V8 Fords in Germany were requisitioned for the military. Passenger cars were mostly cut off behind the doors and rebodied as light trucks and radio vans.
The variety used was thus very considerable...BB's, most kinds of 1930's big trucks, and the '40-42 type trucks that were the main current production lines during the war.
