In 1940, the Second World War was gaining momentum, pushing the American army to study and produce a number of standardized vehicles for its needs. In 1942, deliveries of the ¾ Ton Dodge WC54 ambulance began. Built by Chrysler on the same chassis and with the engine of the entire Dodge WC series, it has specificities specific to its destination as an emergency vehicle and transporting the injured.

In all, more than 26,000 copies of the Dodge WC54 will be built during the war. Used by the American army and its allies, it remained in post-war service in a number of countries, including France. The Dodge WC54 ambulance is an emblematic vehicle of this period, highly sought after by collectors. It is still possible to find ambulances on the market in varying states, more or less transformed. The restoration of a military vehicle requires great rigor. Its characteristics – parts, accessories, markings, etc. – meet precise military specifications.

This book presents in detail all aspects of this vehicle, covering all subjects: chassis, cabin, electricity, accessories, markings... It explains the changes made to the ambulance over the course of the war, both from a from a mechanical or bodywork point of view, than from a marking point of view. Finally, it shows the differences between the Dodge WC54s used by the American army and those of the French army.

This book, abundantly illustrated with more than 450 photos, is intended for all enthusiasts of military and emergency vehicles.
