sixcyl ◊ 2005-11-24 20:37	Il semble bien que ce soit un Reo, mais est-ce que M35 est convenable? car les exemples sur le site s'appliquent à des porteurs, alors que ceux ci semble être des tracteurs de semi

Alexander ◊ 2006-07-20 13:23	You are right, it is a tractor, but the M-52 5-ton 6x6 and not the M-818 which wasn't available in 1956 (date of filming). -- Last edit: 2006-07-20 13:31:12
DidierF ◊ 2015-09-22 10:03	Neither on en.wiki nor Olive-drab is said Reo to have been contractor for the M-54/M-39 (G744) Series. This said, I don't know if there was a prominent maître d’œuvre for this special M-52, between IH and Kaiser, or Diamond T and Mack. I (temporarily?) revert to IH, and to "1951" first year of production, since "1955" was not explained. -- Last edit: 2015-09-22 10:10:09
