Stutz built military suburban

[CDN-CUCV]

I found this bit of history online, Interesting vehicle based on a Suburban named the defender, then changed to the Gazelle, built by Stutz Motorcar Company back in '84.

At least the guy running the winch will have good cover fire...

Ironic.

Quite possibly. The primary customer was Saudi Arabia.

There was also the 'Bear' which looked like the retarded love child of a Rolls Royce convertible and a 'burb. The Royal guard of Saudi Arabia ordered these and 46 were built. There are other variants as well.

I don't know how well that "Ma Deuce" was mounted in that thing but unless it was hooked the the frame a few hundred round out of it would tear it apart......thats why only M-60's were mounted in smaller vehicles.
Not to mention the fact that (even with hearing protection) the muzzle blast and noise would screw up the drivers whole day.
