Old Marine Posted August 27, 2021 Share #1 Posted August 27, 2021 A friend of mine sent me this photo of a highly modified M3, used by the Philadelphia Fire Department in the 60s. They really put some work in to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwb123 Posted August 28, 2021 Share #3 Posted August 28, 2021 That reminds me of this DUKW from the 1960's in New York. That would be my sister hanging onto the side of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
