How To: Restoration of Ford M8 armoured car US Ordnance number 7373

[David Dunlop]

Hello Darryl.

You are making good progress now. Nice to see all the hard work paying off for you.

It’s interesting how little information is out there regarding the post war use of the M8 by the Italian Army. It does not seem to be a priority topic. I have, however, run across two M8 publications that have mentioned (and little else) the Italian usage. The interesting thing was both publications referenced the same source, as follows:

OSPREY BOOKS, ISBN 1-84176-468-X

‘M8 Greyhound Light Armoured Car’ (2002)

by Steve Zaloga

I have no idea if this Osprey publication contains a one line quote about this topic, or deals with it to any depth, with further references, but thought I would pass the information along to you, if the book is not already in your library.
