Early Chevrolets, like this parts truck, had a looped bar grill. There was a narrow tie bar between the front fenders but the last civilian owner of this truck added an angle iron reinforcement.

This April 9, 1941, photograph shows the pilot M2 during testing at Aberdeen Proving Ground. Notice the Firestone tread pattern tires on the front axle. Photographic evidence suggests that only the initial production vehicles had this tread pattern, which was soon supplanted by the chevron tread pattern tires, which in turn were replaced by non-directional tread pattern tires.

There are two basic types of lighting systems found on most common U.S. military vehicles in the MV hobby. These are the WWII type (shown here) and the post-war, or M-series, systems. Although the systems themselves are similar, many of their components and switches are different.

Beyond the inherent dangers of operating a soft-skinned vehicle in a combat environment, gunners in particular are vulnerable to snipers, IED blasts, and roll-overs due to their exposed position. In response to these problems, the Up-armored Humvee has been developed, which offers protection against most small arms fire, shrapnel and anti-personnel mines.

With tanks driving, trucks racing, and flame throwers flaming, the 2019 MVPA Convention had plenty of “history in motion” this past August. One of the new activities at this year’s Convention was the historic military vehicle (HMV) race held in the arena around the near half-mile dirt track.
