M37 Spotting!

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"! :twisted:

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? :roll:

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.
