M4A3 at Pipestone, MN
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.

Many of the 75 armed Shermans here in MN have a 76 or a 90 muzzle brake welded to the end of the gun tube-surprised to see that this one didn't get the "upgrade". Great find! Dan

What amazes me is the condition of the track....(!?) It looks brand new. Regards Don

I knew this machine would turn up sooner or later after MHI lost track of it in 1962....

Anyone near enough to this vehicle to get the serial number and take some good images of the turret & hull sides and rear - particularly looking for signs of fittings that have been removed.
