A mentioning of the Commer. Sometime, probably in the 1950s, DIS produced parts for the Commer truck. As strange as this may sound there were several assembly plants in Denmark (read <a href=\"https:\/\/voresgamledanmark.dk\/motorhistorie\/dansk-ford-fabrik-i-koebenhavn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a> about the Ford assembly plant). The assembly line revolution and currency and import restrictions gave advantages to assembling the cars locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"262\" src=\"https:\/\/madsenbyhansen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Krak_1953-768x262-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madsenbyhansen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Krak_1953-768x262-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/madsenbyhansen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Krak_1953-768x262-1-300x102.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Krak: Advertisment 1953<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wehicle(parts) mentioned could be from the wehicle Commer Q4 used by the danish military??? If the parts were manufactured for the military they were probably not part of a assembly plant but part of a military contract. Fenders are specifically mentioned but other parts might have been produced?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asking around (car enthusiasts etc), but no more information surfaced.
