APS221 ◊ 2011-08-09 05:58	There's a discussion about how the vehicles were provided by members of a military vehicle collector club here: /vehicle_38038-International-Harvester-M9-Halftrack-1943.html
maxman ◊ 2012-05-05 00:09	Actually, it has the additional armour in front of the drivers' hatches, which would make it a Chrysler M4A4, not a Ford M4A3, which is an even bigger goof, since the US Army never used M4A4, just British and Commonwealth armies (aside from the Illinois State Army National Guard using M48A5 Pattons by 1979). If you compare the glacis, treads and turret, it looks more like and M4A4 than an M4A3. -- Last edit: 2012-09-09 05:19:39
