Phil, I have no idea what's in the boxes but am willing to take a gamble. Do you ship overseas? If so, please let me know what it will cost to send the boxes to The Netherlands. If not, I might come up with an address in Canada.
Thanks,
Hanno

In July 1941 the US Army Ordnance issued specifications for a medium armored car alongside a specification for heavy armored car (which resulted in the T18 Boarhound). Ford Motor Company built a 6 x 6 prototype which was designated T17 and Chevrolet a 4 x 4 model designated T17E1. Both variants were armed with a 37 mm gun in a rotating turret, a coaxial machine gun and a bow machine gun. Some T17E1 had an additional machine gun for anit-aircraft defence. Production started in October 1942. However, eventually the US military decided to adopt the lighter M8 Greyhound vehicle instead. T17 production was stopped and the 250 units produced were disarmed and given to the US Military Police, while the T17E1 production continued for the British Army. The T17 received the name Deerhound and the T17E1 Staghound by the British.
