I believe both of you are correct on the Dodge ID. I found a book with a lot better photos than my first attempt and the determining ID points are that the Dodge has a slightly different grille and that the louvres on the side of the hood end in a straight line and those on the Plymouth have a slight slant at the back end.
Good job my friends. As to the last photo, the second car behind the Cadillac appears to me to be a Horch, probably an 850 series although I am not too good on these cars. Cheers Bill |

In 1939 the Romanian Ministry of Defence ordered 1320 3 tons Ford trucks to “S.A.R. Ford Romana” plant. 1000 more Ford trucks were ordered in 1940 with other 488 Ford-Marmon, 4x4, artillery tractors for AA units. Single rear wheels were common for Romanian army trucks after the war, because of tires shortage. |

It seems these are Henschel 33G1, 6x4 medium trucks, towing Vickers 75 mm AA guns during the 10th May parade (1942 or 1943). Note the “I” initial on the registration plates, that indicate the vehicles belong to the Air State Subsecretariate. |

It is a Renault AGK or AGR. In the pictures you can only see the military type, with out the bumper and other chrome parts.  AGR Source http://www.autogallery.org.ru/m/renagr.htm  AGK Source http://www.autogallery.org.ru/m/renagk.htm |
