First off thank you all for the nice replies about my WC56,
When I was little I became indulged to someday own a Command Car, I grew up in the L.A. area and "back in the day" my family would go to Universal Studios. There on the "back lot" tour I saw a hurt looking Command Car, I would dream of getting it and fixing it up. Well I grew up and I still wanted a Command car but had to settle for the M37 "they used to be affordable" then when I first moved to Barstow I met a guy that said he had a Command car and I could have it, I was jazzed. Then I went to pick it up and it had been made into a Forklift
and was a piece of dung but I brought it home anyway and stripped the usable parts off of it and kept them for 15 years. Then I came across the Command car in the pictures below and I could afford so I bought it. I was searching on the net one evening and there was a site that had a picture of the Universal studios back lot and would you believe it, it was the same Command Car I saw as a kid ! and to make it better it needed a new cowl and I had one from the wreck I brought home 15 years prior ! So the last picture is the same Command car after I worked my @ss off on it for 2 years, I am going to tear it down to restore it here soon.
Pretty cool story I think, but I now have my Command Car and I digg it
