M37 Spotting!

[Tyroma]

Hey Gang...

Me and the wife went down to Frankenmuth, MI last week for the big Bavarian Festival and shopping in Birch Run. Anyhoo, I popped over to the Frankenmuth Military Museum (...unfortunately as they were closing up...) and found tank, a 6x6 and an M37. Any of you guys know this one? Looked like it hadn't been run in a while, and I wondered if it was in running condition...until it showed up in the parade the next day! It seemed to be quite a bit quieter than mine...maybe had a different exhaust, or the 251ci makes more noise...I dunno...

There was also a few Hummers and a very cool 1955 Viet Nam gun truck...bristling with Ma Deuces! Oh, how I'd love to see her "clearing the road"!

So, here are some pics. One at the museum, one in the parade, and big bad "Uncle Meat". Enjoy!

Excellent pictures, thanks for sharing. I wonder why the driver has the doors open for ventilation rather than opening the windshield?

Maybe to facilitate tossing of 'd Tootsie Rolls? BTW, It looks like the Door Arm Checks are shot?

I've notice quite a few northern based un-restored trucks have the inner windows sealed to the main frame. My truck came from the USNR at Duluth MN that way.
