Built by Ford
from March 1943, 11,000 of this very fast Armoured Car
(Max.55mph) were built with some being supplied to the
British who nicknamed it "Greyhound", not
apparently for its speed, but for thin armour!
First used
in Italy they went on to see action from Normandy onwards
many with the Free French.
In the Pacific Campaign, they were used in the Philippines
and in Okinawa.
Post war
they saw action in Korea and in French Indochina
Our
model has a full interior and open drivers hatches.
