A late production Sherman tank. One of my favorites. Now both Paul Heiser and Bill Jr Models make these in HO. That's going to get expensive for me.
Another M47 tank, they had two at the museum. I always like this one. I think they should have painted it with Tiger II markings for use in the Battle of the Bulge movie!
They had a number of various other civilian type trucks that had been used by the military.
The M8 armored car and the M60 tank. They were in great condition.
A mid / late war Sherman tank.

That was one helluva tour through some very nice hardware.
I am glad the Germans NEVER had any M-47s though...LOL
Good shout out for the museum...
ANd I plan to start stashing away some loose cash for a donation soon.
They deserve it for the work they've done JUST to get those vehicles on site.
Now...if you've got a mind to drive out to CHINO to the AIR museum....
(just a thought)
