#1: M60A0 in Rhodes, Iowa Author: Tanklord, Location: LouisianaPosted: Thu Dec 17, 2009 12:37 am ---- Friend just sent me this pic. Appears to be near some monument.
I originally mis-identified it as an M48, just by looking at the front end. I realize now my eyes put a curve in it that's not really there!
