It carried the remains of Howard Ramsey, Oregon's last WWI Veteran, who died February 22, 2007 at the age of 108.

Blackram2 Posted October 1, 2012 Share #9 Posted October 1, 2012 If anyone knows the whereabouts of a WWI Liberty Truck in any condition please reply here with some basic information and pics if you have them. 1) First Division Museum at Cantigny in Wheaton, IL 2) USMC museum 3) USAF Museum Dayton 4) Transportation museum Ft Eustis 5) Oregon Military Museum Others??? I have one. It is pretty hacked up but would be good for parts. It is the front clib with engine, radiator etc.. I believe the engine is good enought to be restored.(Continental) The engine and front clip are actually sitting on top of a frame to a 1917 FWD. If you are interested I could send you some photos. It is located in Idaho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgawne Posted October 1, 2012 Share #10 Posted October 1, 2012 This is when I wish I was rich. I would snatch one up in a second and have it totally restored. Although in theory you could take almsot any car or truck from that period and the AEF probably used one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron3-6 Posted December 8, 2013 Share #16 Posted December 8, 2013 The one in Kansas city is an ambulance.....but I remember reading something that the chassis is original, but the ambulance portion was totally reproduced. It may not have started life as an actual ambulance version. The USAF Museum one is an ambulance as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
