M1 Armored Car: "Combat Vehicles Of Mechanized Cavalry" 1938 US Army Training Film (Low Res)

Neat! When I was stationed in 1-1 Cav (Beudingen, Germany) 2000-2003; we had a half-track on static display at the front gate. One day the Squadron Commander got the idea to have it restored for a parade commemorating the liberation of the town during WW2. About 6 months later and roughly a $250K later. That half-track was fully restored and rolling around the post and in the city. It was shiny and brand new looking like it came fresh off the factory floor.

Nicethat it was restored.. it could of just been loaded on a flat-bed for the parade and the money spent on the troop’s welfare in another way within the Company/Batallion/Base.
Not meaning to be a spoil-sport..
just that their are better ways to spend the Army funds within the units.
