The Otter Light Reconnaissance Car (LRC) was developed by General Motors Canada as a replacement for the Humber LRC. Between 1942 and 1945, 1761 units were produced in Oshawa, Ontario, though fewer than 1,000 were delivered overseas.[1] The vehicle was based on the Chevrolet C15 CMP truck. The armament consisted of a hull-mounted Boys anti-tank rifle and a Bren light machine gun in a small open-topped turret.

The Otter served with Canadian units in the Italian Campaign and Northwest Europe. It was also employed by some British units. After the war the Otter was used by the Jordanian Army and Dutch Army during the Indonesian Revolution.
