Schmidt Meister Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 On 12/6/2022 at 8:04 PM, Eric said: This 1941 Ford Delivery Panel Van was a US army-issue ambulance with 1½-ton chassis fitted with dual rear wheels. It is powered by a flathead, V8 engine with a manual four-speed gearbox; top speed is around 50mph. Originally intended for use as an ambulance for the US Army in Europe during the Second World War, nothing is known as to how and why it was never delivered and eventually ended up in a barn in Arizona where it was discovered in 1975. This Panel Van was purchased and exported into the UK in 2019. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmidt Meister Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 This 1957 GMC Pickup Customised by WhistlinDiesel. Fine ride but those tires rims/wheels destroy the overall image of the truck in my opinion and I'd pull 'em off right after driving it straight to Town And Country Tire, if I owned it. Those things would gag a maggot. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should have steel wheels painted the same color as the truck with white dog dish hubcaps to match the bumper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmidt Meister Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 The Mercedes-Benz 540K (W29) is a car built by the German firm Mercedes-Benz from 1936 to 1940 and is used by this leader as a means of transportation during his free time. Rarely is he seen with this car as he has other cars in his collection that he used for transportation. This version of the car was based on Mercedes-Benz 540K special which was introduced in 1936. It was during the Berlin Automobile exhibition that Goering took a liking to this vehicle but when he tried to sit in the driver’s compartment of the car, he got stuck due to him being extremely overweight. Mercedes agreed to create a custom version of this car for the Nazi leader which had the price tag of 28,000 Reichsmarks. It was considerably more expensive than standard models due to it having armor-plated sides and bulletproof glass painted in sky blue with his family crest on both doors. Nicknamed the "Blue Goose" by Goering, the car was eventually captured in May 1945 by the famous 101st Airborne Division 'Screaming Eagles' when they entered Berchtesgaden, the home of Goering, which was subsequently given to Major General Maxwell Taylor as he used the car as his command vehicle in West Germany during the post-war period. The Blue Goose was auctioned in 2011 in Italy by Ontario, Canada-based RM Auctions for about $2 million. It was subsequently shipped to the United States in August 1945, where it was on tour to raise victory bonds*. The car is currently under the ownership of Carnlough International Limited of Guernsey after buying it from the family of the deceased veterinarian Doctor George Bitgood Jr on the condition that the car was to be restored to its original form. * It made laps at the Indianapolis 500 Speedway in August 1946 for the 101st Airborne Reunion.

Schmidt Meister Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 1951 Fastback Studebaker Woodie This ’51 Woodie was under construction when Dennis Varni made the winning bid for it at the auction of the late Joe MacPherson's prized collection. It had already been transformed from a sedan to a fastback and was already a woodie. The top was chopped 2-1/2 inches, and the rear fenders were stretched 18 inches and treated to custom taillight lenses and bezels and '37 Ford headlights were installed. A Ford 427 FE engine is fed by a Propulsion Development Laboratories mechanical injection to work with a Hilborn electronic system hidden under the manifold. Edelbrock cylinder heads are topped with Edsel valve covers. The new combination produced 410 hp on the dyno. An adapter fits the Ford to a GM 700-R4 transmission. Custom built bucket seats were covered in tan leather with gray-toned fur inserts. Redline Gauge Works restored the appearance of the factory gauges and updated the internals. A reproduction '54 Stude steering wheel was installed with a wood grain paint. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
