Armored Car V100 and Armored Jeep M151 1967 video and more

[Rickv100]

I am taking my collection of VHS video transfers over to a video production location to have it transferred over to digital format.

I am not sure if I will post to YouTube or offer copies.

Right now I have Armored Command Car V-100 and Armored Jeep 151 from 1967, this is silent film footage shot when the 716th was evaluating the V100. It originally came from the National Archives.

I also have some footage from someone of a prototype V100 swimming in Michigan during the early 60's. I am guessing it was shot by Cadillac Gage.

I am not sure where this footage originally came from.

Rick, I'll happily share the cost of the transfer with you, or pay you for copies.

Cheers

I just came back from the video transfer shop, it will take about a week to get the films transferred. There is also footage shot at Yuma Proving Grounds with drawbar tests of different vehicles and then them testing a V100 with a bolt on wheel ring. It has footage of them swimming the V in a test tank.

At the end of the video they manage to get the V100 stuck.

I'd be interested in a copy. I've got a 16mm promo film I should get transferred.

Jeff,
I also have a copy of the news story where they ran over the barn. Can I post it?
