[waayfast]

Well, shoot here goes nuthin--------

1945 Ward LaFrance model 1000, series 5, M1A1 Heavy Wrecker

 

[Tracer]

waayfast, love your wrecker. Question, right behind your wrecker with a cooling fan, is that a radial engine from a Sherman tank???

 

[waayfast]

That was a Guiberson 9 cylinder Diesel radial engine. Near as I could tell it was new old stock, sitting on the base of what was the original shipping crate. Still had remnants of cosmoline smeared here and there.
We used the Ward to load the engine in Matt Levy's truck for the ride home. Matt bought it to install in his LVT "aligator".

Uhm, I KnOw i saw a swastika on that body somewhere.. ill recheck....
Ahaa!
Found it, but only while moving.. like backmasking on the old KISS Lps.


“The VW was known as the "swastika hubcap" car. The early versions and
drawings actually had swastika hubcaps, just as the older versions had "VW"
hubcaps. Historians believe the VW hubcaps resemble the swastika at
certain speeds of rotation.”

 

[papabear]

There's about 25 hours left so join the fun folks!!
