Republicans (Indonesian troops) have destroyed the central car dealership of Purwokerto and set it on fire before the city was occupied by Dutch troops. These pictures were taken by Hugo Wilmar in the Dutch First Police Action (Eerste politionele actie), Central Java, Indonesia, July 27, 1947.
The photo of what seems to be a car dealership may be the Ford dealer
in Purwokerto. There are three Ford cars in front of the demolished
building that are of the 1946-1947 style and some older Fords in what is
left of the building.
In this photo, you can see many six cylinder motors with the cylinder head removed. Ford did make such an engine at that time and it looked at least similar to the ones in the photo above.
This photograph show a half-cropped truck at right with speakers on the front grille. I (Bill) believe this is a CMP (Canadian Military Pattern) 30 CWT truck with propaganda speakers mounted on it.Source :
