WW2 Dodge Command Car

Last weekend, we went to a car show. It was the kind that had all types of clubs showing off their best. By far, our favourites were the ones that were in the shade. This happened to be the New Zealand Military Vehicle Club so there were several trucks and jeeps. (We found out later that some members even have small tanks!) It was quite hot that day and after many minutes at the Sausage Sizzle and the bake sale we decided to sit in the shade. I pulled out my book and sketched this officer's World War 2 deluxe jeep (actually a Dodge). Since it's not as tall and wider than other jeeps of the time it seemed more modern with it's Hummer-like proportions.

AmeriCARna 2020

700 US classic cars lined the street.  This 1957 Chev 3100 pickup caught my eye



Brian remarked on a monster US Vietnam Oshkosh army truck towing a procession of equipment owned by a local entity - in the next street.  I couldn't help myself.
