    I can’t read the pictures but I’m guessing this was overseas and not in the USA?

    I’m thinking India, and they tried to sue Ford for using the name, but were ignored.

    Setup makes me think hay wagon with a suspension.

    Probably an idea that came to mind during the war.
    Take a broken down truck or car and the hay wagon that still had good wheels/tires.
