Ford C 11 ADF
Produced for British use, the C 11 was based on a 1942 model civilian four-door station wagon. It was used by British and Canadian forces as a heavy duty utility and staff vehicle. It had room for five passengers, and was fitted with internal rifle racks, entrenching tools, radio equipment, a full medical kit and map cases. Hence, it was often used as a mobile command center, seeing action in North Africa.
The car can carry one driver and five passengers. The C 11 burns 3.2 gallons of gasoline per hour at routine usage. A full tank of petrol costs $3.75. It can ford depths of up to 2' and has a range of 300 miles.

Design Notes:
Design loaded weight was 3,905 lbs.; this was increased 85 lbs. to the historical. Chassis weight, cost and HP were halved to decrease design weight (and reflect its civilian origins). The design purchases a 15-gallon fuel tank; the historical capacity is shown. Design gSpeed was 95 mph; the historical gSpeed is shown (but see the entry on Jeeps on p. W106 about top sustained speeds).
