Great pictures. I would have loved to have been around then (still had 6 years to go).

Say Jordan, notice all the matt khaki and OD paint? All those years closer to these vehicle's origins seems to have given them an appreciation of their original finishes.

I remember a newsstand adventurer's magazine from the 70s that had an article on some Ontario guy who had a 3/4 M37, was part of the then military vehicle community, and wrote some little books called, "Mercenary Manual" Parts I and II. It was supposed to be a pocket reference on AFV and aircraft recognition, foreign weapons handling, mine, urban warfare, comms, and a whole lot of other soldier level skills. The first name was Terry. Ring any bells?

And the same guy hung with Don Smith at his shop on
Greenlane and used Don's deuce to deliver the Gun
newspapers he published, he painted CIA on the tailgate.
Remember Stenig Gruener and his pal?
And the guy with the 52 jeep at Paisley with the loaded semi
automatic pistol under the front seat cushion.
And...the 37mm that was towed just North of Paisley and
fired in the bush
