Hello Again,

For those of you seeing this for the first time, please check out the other vehicles and boats I am listing so you can get a better understanding of this unique vehicle and the man who cared for them.
My Father bought this in 1990 and other than the title I cannot give information prior to then.
He added the little things over the years (see photos for the full extent of the accessories) and kept it in its pristine condition you see here.
This was his Parade Vehicle - Every Veterans Day Parade for 28 years this led the procession.
I have traced the Vin number and verified where it came off the assembly line (see photo)
Though there are many additions to the accessories (see photos and list below) it started its life as 1 of only 1035 produced. The body tag has been painted over so I cant tell which one of the 1035 it is. I ground down to get to the vin but the tag is fragile and I'm worried I will ruin it for good.
For those who are not enthusiasts, this was the vehicle reserved for Generals. General Patton himself could have spent time in this one as easily as any of the others he was pictured with before, during and after the war. I cannot make the specific claim any more than the next guy. But with the radio configuration and the small production, it is as likely as not he spent some time in the back seat.
SPECIFICS:

ENGINE - This is the same type 230 that all command cars came with. You engine buffs will have to do your work with the stamp to figure out if it is original. It runs perfect and doesn't leak. It has the late model horn and all military accessories (generator, carburetor, etc) that should be under the hood. The only rust on the whole vehicle is surface rust on the manifold and if my Dad didn't want to paint over it I am not either. The odometer reads 00809. I don't know what to tell you about this as far as rebuilt or original mileage or ?
INTERIOR - Loaded with Military Accessories befitting a General's ride. Leather seats front and back. Back has 5 feet of leg room. Radio is mounted behind the front passenger seat and across the back of the seat is the antenna which screw together to over 20ft high. The rifles are for show only and are not included (or make separate offer) and there is a separate set of rifle holders that are included. The dash is in perfect shape and all gauges work.
BODY - Straight and Rust Free. Even the leather patch around the gas cap is in great condition. All latches and handles move smoothly
TAILGATE - Notice in the picture that there is a cubby hole built in. It looks like it was factory made but it would block where the board slides in for the 2 guards who rode on the back would stand. Enthusiasts out there help me out with this unique little quirk! Everything in the back is included. The radio phone, the signal light with all colored glass filters is in perfect shape. Second signal light and spare radio as well. The pouch has various hand books related to the vehicle and there are 3 helmets that are in the back seat that will be included as well. There is a camo net that may or may not have been original that is included as well.

Though the Big Blue Dodge was his favorite to drive, this was the vehicle that he was most proud of. If you were at a Military Show on the West Coast over the last few decades he was there trying to get everything perfect. The black out lights on the rear was one of his later purchases.
This is a collectors item and he treated it that way. No driving in the rain, no mud on your shoes. Though it will climb hills and ford rivers like a Hummer, he kept it covered, trailered and Paraded. I am hoping that the new buyer treats it the same. Thanks in advance for your interest and I will do my best to answer all questions and take whatever pictures you want. Kind Regards, Brad

NOTE: I have just pulled out the title and it reads 1944. I talked to the DMV and they told me that if there was a lost title and a bill of sale, then this title could have been generated from that alone, as their system does not track/confirm Military Vehicles from that era. So unless I get new documentation that says otherwise, (and please come forward if you have any), this remains a 1942 and the title is incorrect on the date. All other items such as the Name, the VIN and the Plate Number are correct and the title is clear and in my possession.

GMC Hummer EV SUV first drive, RIP Camaro, Ferrari Roma Spider | Autoblog Podcast # 773

Fri, Mar 24 2023

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by News Editor Joel Stocksdale. They start off with one of the week's biggest official news items — the impending death of the sixth-gen Chevrolet Camaro. On the subject of powerful American cars, they pivot to a teaser from Stellantis execs that there are big things ahead for its Dodge Charger SRT Daytona Banshee concept. From there, they look at Ferrari's new topless Roma and then get into Ford's multi-billion-dollar electric vehicle pivot. Speaking of expensive EVs, Joel just got back from driving the new GMC Hummer SUV. He also had the new F-150 Lightning Pro in his driveway, and that's followed by Greg's update on Autoblog's long-term Toyota Sienna.Â Autoblog Podcast # 773 Get The Podcast Apple Podcasts Â– Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes Spotify Â– Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast on Spotify RSS Â– Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 Â– Download the MP3 directly Rundown News Chevrolet Camaro production will officially end after 2024 model year Dodge CEO teases more to come from Charger SRT Daytona Banshee Ferrari Roma Spider returns a front-engined soft top to the lineup Ford Model e losing billions as it says EV unit should be seen as startup What we're driving Ford F-150 Lightning Pro 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV 2023 Toyota Sienna Platinum AWD Feedback Email Â– Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on Apple Podcasts Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.

Made in America | These cars top the most-American list

Mon, Dec 5 2022

The car with the most American/Canadian content for 2022 is ... cue the drumroll ... the Lincoln Corsair, in both standard gasoline-fueled and plug-in hybrid guise. Both versions of Lincoln's compact luxury crossover earned a score of 86 — due to 72% of its parts coming from one of the two aforementioned countries Â— in the American University Kogod Business School's annual "Made in America Auto Index." Last year's leader, the 2021 Ford Mustang GT (when equipped with a manual transmission) fell all the way to 22nd place with a 50% rating due to a switch in transmissions sourced from Mexico. In case you're interested, that puts Ford's red-blooded American ponycar below vehicles like the Kia Sorento, Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class SUV and Lexus ES. If you're wondering how an American car that's assembled within the borders of the United States could rank below a model from a Korean, German or Japanese automaker, well, we'll let Kogod explain: "The components of the index are based on research performed by the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor Michigan regarding the economic value of different components of auto manufacturing. For example, the highest ranked cars are made by U.S.-based manufacturers using American engines and transmissions, and with a high AALA percentage of U.S. and Canadian parts." There are 25 total vehicles listed in the Top 10 (there are lots of ties this year). Here's the full list: (1) Lincoln Corsair: 86 (1) Lincoln Corsair PHEV: 86 (2) Tesla Model 3 Long Range: 82.5 (3) Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray: 81 (4) Chevrolet Colorado: 80.5 (5) Jeep Cherokee Latitude 4x4: 80 (5) Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk: 80 (5) Tesla Model 3 Performance: 80 (5) Tesla Model Y: 80 (6) Dodge Durango Citadel: 79.5 (6) Dodge Durango Blacktop AWD: 79.5 (7) Honda Passport Trailsport: 78.5 (8) Ford F-150 2.7L, 3.3L, 5.0L: 77.5 (8) Ford Ranger: 77.5 (8) Ford Bronco automatic: 77.5 (8) Tesla Model S: 77.5 (8) Tesla Model X: 77.5 (9) Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 3.6L: 77 (9) Jeep Grand Cherokee L LTD: 77 (9) Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 3.6L: 77 (9) Chevrolet Camaro automatic: 77 (10) Honda Odyssey: 76 (10) Honda Ridgeline: 76 (10) Honda Pilot: 76 There's a whole long list of reasons for the above scores, with seven criteria that include factory location, headquarters location and where its various bits and pieces come from.

Here's your chance to own a first-year Dodge Viper with just 333 miles

Wed, Dec 4 2019

The Dodge Viper is certainly one of the most outrageous cars to come out of the 1990s, with its cartoon styling, massive 8.0-liter V10 engine, and utter disregard for anything other than performance. The first-generation models are the purest example of the breed, with an assemble-it-yourself toupee roof, side curtains, calf-searing side pipes, no air-conditioning (until '94), no airbags, no ABS, and no traction control. This first-year 1992 Viper is coming to Barrett-Jackson's Scottsdale auction in January and has just 333 miles, making it a near-new example of Chrysler's wild child. Only a couple hundred first-year Vipers were built, making them among the rarest of the breed. All '92 models were red, the same color as the 1989 show car, the overwhelming reaction to which spurred Chrysler to put the car into production as a modern-day Cobra. With the Viper's departure in 2017, the car seems destined to forever remain the improbable offspring of a moment in time. That time has passed, but an ultra-low-miles example like this allows its lucky new owner to chance to experience firsthand what all the fuss was about.
