1944 Auto Car Personnel Carrier
Per data plate, half track converted to M-16A1 multi gun motor carriage April 1953Manufacturer’s serial # 1586
Ordinance Department serial # 1586

The half track is all original. The armor has never been cut or altered except for the M16A1 current configuration. The half track starts and runs flawlessly and I did replace the brakes and clutch for safety and drivability reasons when originally purchased. Although I was planning on a frame off restoration, the motor runs extremely strong and I drove it in a couple of parades as is. I just have way too many projects to complete and I know I just won’t get to this project and I would like to see someone get this vehicle that has the time to care for it properly and to share it with others. It has been stored in our company shop under a silk parachute for the last five years.

1943 Half-track With Quad 50 Cal. Anti-Aircraft Set.
 
This  half- track came from Southern Parts, January 1980 and is a 1952 conversion from an M-15 to an M16-A1 By Bowen - Mc Laughlin. A fresh  coat of paint was put on it about 1982, with the stars etc. done about the same time. The quad 50 was added in 2003 or thereabouts and was working at one time but not now. The guns are wood, purchased from Army Cars in Holland. All gauges work other than the fuel gauge since it's running on a tank fabricated to fit in the correct location but no sending unit was ever installed. Brakes work, engine always starts, new tires less than 100 miles ago. It has 8 tombstone ammo cans, 2 ea. extra 50 cal. barrels, Little Joe generator, new fuel tank still in the crate, new set of extra tracks not on the vehicle, some spare parts and windshield glass with one pane cracked. It's pretty much like it was  in 1980 when purchased and has been stored inside for the past 30 years. The vehicle is an ex Arkansas National Guard unit and from what Southern Parts stated, it was used to surround Central High School in Little Rock in the 60's. It has a clear Tennessee title, and is located about 30 miles west of Chattanooga Tn.

M-18 Hellcat

The M18 Hellcat was built by Buick in 1944.  We have reason to believe this unit actually saw combat in the Battle of the Bulge and after.  This is the Ferrari of the US WWII tanks and is still the fastest US production tank ever built.  We have 2 Hellcat’s and this is the nicest one of the two, and literally the best of the lot that came over from Europe.  This one was handpicked.  We are working on finishing the C4 Engine, muffler system, a few hoses and the dash.  It will be in mint condition.  If someone would like it battle ready, that can be done.  A lot of extra’s will be included in the sale anyway.

M4 Sherman ( Composite Hull ) Rare, 1 of only 10 known to exist

The M4 was one of the most commonly produced tanks of WWII.  However, this one is rare because it is a composite hull, which means the front is cast and the rear is welded.  As you can see by the pictures.  The tank was produced on 6/1942 at the Chrysler factory in Detroit, MI.  Many people maintain that since there is only approximately 10 of these in existence, it is one of the rarest Sherman’s built, next to the Jumbo Sherman. This M4 has been completely restored inside and out with all original NOS equipment , it starts good , runs good and looks great. come take a ride .
