Throughout WW2 variety of luxury vehicles like Buick, Bentley, and the like, were used for staff officer transportation.

I am not sure what make this one actually is but it looks like a 1942 Bentley to me, but I am no expert believe me!

The car is very similar in style to the one used by Brigadier Mallaby in Surabaya, 1945

A British sergeant examines the burnt-out wreckage of Brigadier Mallaby’s car on the spot where it was ambushed in Surabaya and the Brigadier murdered on 31 October 1945.

In this case the car used by Brigadier Mallaby was a LaSalle 1940 Series 52 Sedan

About 8:30 P.M. on the night of Tuesday, October 30, 1945, near the Jembatan Merah (Red Bridge) in Surabaya, the Commander of the 49thIndian Infantry Brigade, Brigadier A. W, S. Mallaby, C.I.E., O.B.E.,was shot to death.

It was, of course, not unusual for senior military officers to be killed during the Second World War and its aftermath, but the death of Brigadier Mallaby aroused world-wide interest.

Anyway I have this one so I am using it!
