The Dodge WC series (nicknamed Beeps) is a prolific range of light 4WD and medium 6WD military utility trucks, produced by Chrysler under the Dodge and Fargo marques during World War II Contrary to the versatility of the highly standardized jeep, which was mostly achieved through field modification, the Dodge WC‑series came in many different, purpose-built, but mechanically uniform variants from the factory. The WC series evolved out of, and was part of a more extended family of trucks, with great mechanical parts commonality, that included open- and closed-cab cargo, troops and weapons carriers, (radio) command, and reconnaissance cars, ambulances, carry-alls, panel vans, and mobile telephone installation and (emergency) field workshop trucks. essentially built in two generations. From 1940 to early 1942, almost 82,400 of the 1⁄2‑ton 4x4 Dodge trucks were built — initially called the VC series, but the great majority, from 1941, in the WC series, With the most prolific of the many WCs being the 3⁄4-ton, 4×4, WC-51 and WC-52 Weapons Carriers All in all, not counting mechanically related variants, the WC series alone involved 52 model versions (thirty 1⁄2‑ton 4×4, eight 1⁄2‑ton 4×2, twelve 3⁄4‑ton 4×4, and two 11⁄2‑ton 6×6 models). Creating vehicles of a common platform in such a variety of designs, with payloads ranging from 1⁄2‑ton to 11⁄2‑tons, had no equal in its time, and is seen as an extraordinary feat of the WWII American auto industry Diolch am 87,419,630 o olygfeydd anhygoel, mae pob un yn 90cael ei werthfawrogi'n fawr.

435 Wolseley 16/60 (Farina) (1966) GUF 831 D by Robert Knight Via Flickr: Wolseley 16-60 (1961-71) Engine 1622cc S4 BMC B Series Production 63,082 Registration Number GUF 831 D (Brighton) WOLSELEY ALBUM www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/sets/72157623738922097... BMC introduced their Farina styled family car across their range beginning with the introduction of the upmarket Wolseley 15-60 from 1958 followed by the mass market Morris Oxford and Austin A55, and the more sporty Riley 4-68 and MG Magnette III. All of the models were powered by a 1489cc version of the BMC B Series engine, in different states of tune. Wolseley, together with the Austin Cambridge and the Morris Oxford, was at the bottom of the performance range with its single SU carburettor gave just 52 hp. The upholstery was in leather and had individual front seats that were set closely together to allow a central passenger to be carried allowing the car to be advertised as seating six although there was a floor mounted gear lever. The handbrake was between the driver's seat and the door. The rear seat had a folding central armrest. Wood veneer was used on the fascia and door cappings. A Smiths heater was fitted as standard. Either single or, as an option, two colour paint was used. The Farina range was refreshed from MY 1961. The 15/60 was replaced by the Wolseley 16/60 in September 1961 along with the rest of the range, the BMC B series engine capacity was increased to 1622cc, with the version in the Wolseley now producing 61bhp. Wolseley offered the option of a f Borg Warner 35 automatic transmission, the four speed manual still had no syncromesh on the bottom ratio Viewed from the outside, the Wolseley 16/60 was differentiated from the 15/60 by the overriders on the bumpers which protruded more than on the earlier car, the plastic mouldings on the rear lights were also modified along with the rear fins, now much reduced in their sharpness. The 1600 cc Farina models mostly remained in production through to 1968. However, with no rear wheel drive Wolseley-badged replacement produced, the Wolseley 16/60 model continued to be offered for sale until early 1971 Diolch am 87,811,968 o olygfeydd anhygoel, mae pob un yn 90cael ei werthfawrogi'n fawr.
