M3A1 Stuart & M18 Hellcat

[Steve Greenberg]

Hello,
Heiser Farms in Dayton, Or. sponsored a Veteran Apprreication weekend for Veterans and thier families. I had my M3A1 Stuart along with a friends M18 Hellcat on display. There were four WWII Jeeps, a M923 5 ton, M35A3 2 1/2 ton, M274 Mule & a Humvee. We were able to run the tanks around and fire blanks. Here are a few photos and a couple videos.
Enjoy,
Steve

What is the trailer behind the duece?

 

[Steve Greenberg]

Hello,
The guy who owns the M35A3 took in on the Alcan trip and the trailer is a home made camper. He lived in the trialer during the trip. The frame is a 1 1/2 ton military trailer and the camper part is civilian.
Thanks,
Steve

Unless I am grievously mistaken, he had that trailer at the MVPA convention in Portland. Very cool indeed!

Cheers

That is my M35A3 and trailer at the Pumpkin Patch - what a great adventure, MV's, pumpkin shooting, food, steam tractor, narrow gage railroad...!
I did take the truck and trailer on the AC'12 Convoy, and had it at the MVPA Convention in Portland this summer.
The trailer is a Cruiser RV X139 with lots of M105A2 trailer parts under it - works great!

I'm going to have to try and make that next year! Hopefully I'll have my halftrack done by then.

God Bless America! I love that we as civilians can run around in tanks through fields and such.. it's just awesome!
