M-1 Abrams delivered to 1st Div Museum (Wheaton Il. )
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.

I missed it by a month! I hope they leave it in Sand tan for a while, everything else is in dark green/OD. A museum worth seeing. Gary

I was lucky enough to grow up in Chicago - the 1st ID museum, especially since they updated it from when I was a kid - is a great museum. Much more interesting than many military museums I've been to, but then again, this is privately funded.
