On one of those occasion when researching one thing and ending up somewhere totally different I ran a site yesterday that sells tanks.. If you have $199,000 just sitting around, you too can own a vintage 1943 M5 Stuart light tank. It is small enough to fit in your garage and light enough that it should not crack your slab. I actually think I would buy one of these if I had the money. You can get them street legal and how cool would it be to pull up at work in a tank?
I have a friend who works at the Virginia Museum of Military Vehicle (http://vmmv.org/) and they have quite a collection. He's frequently off to the far corners of the world to buy at T-34 or some other iron beast.
Especially when applying !
Hell yes! Or better when I turned in my retirement papers... they'd have then understood. 😮
If I could see the bumper number I could guess better. As it is, I will guess Bastogne because of the snow and the French language signs in the background.Update, it is this one: B-6 from the 41st Tank Battalion, 11th Armored Division at the Ardennes Memorial in Bastogne. I was right the first time. ;D
More like a lucky guess that quick research showed to be correct. There are several dozen if not 100+ Shermans sitting around in France and Belgium as part of memorials.
Another helpful clue : “Created by Colonel Guy de la Vasselais, the “Freedom road” retraces the route taken by General Patton?s 3rd Army from the Sainte-M?re-Eglise to Bastogne. All along this way are kilometer markers.”
