Saladin
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Took these pictures this week, This obvious Tennesee Football fan went through a lot of trouble painting this Saladin. It was parked in front of the Saturn Dealership off I-75 in Knoxville TN. No idea who it belongs too and didn't have time to ask. I always thought the Saladin was the M41 of wheeled armored cars, They just look cool, even with this crazy paint. Joe D

Hi Joe_D! Hi Folks! - Joe_D I always thought the Saladin was the M41 of wheeled armored cars, They just look cool, even with this crazy paint. I have to agree with you Joe! There were times when I hoped the US Army would buy Saladins to replace the Lingles that Scouts had to fight with. Sgt, Scouts Out! _________________ "You can never have too much reconnaissance."

Aaaaarrrghhhh, my eyes, my eyes... There are some things you just don't do to an AFV and this is right towards the top of the list. If they send it to me, I can promise it'll get a new home, will be cared for and repainted- either BG or a desert scheme.

What kind of support might the "Lady Vols" be enjoying?
