Lynx Scout Car
A closely related vehicle, the Lynx Scout Car, or "Car, Scout, Ford Mark I" was produced by Ford Canada in Windsor, Ontario. The Lynx design grafted a Dingo hull onto a chassis fitted with a conventional four wheel drive and running gear. While the engine was much more powerful the gearbox and suspension were inferior. The type entered service at some time around 1943.
