A few vehicles I saw at Ropkey's Museum in Crawfordsville In
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.

When I was restoring my Stuart, Fred offered to sell me any of the parts he had, that I needed, but could not find anywhere else. A real gentleman and a help to the restoration hobby.

AJ,
Any signs of 2 M48 Pattons that are supposedly outdoors and the M114?

Should also be an extra M41A1 Walker Bulldog turret laying around...

I'll be there in the next week or so, but when I was there a few months ago shooting pix for my Duster book, here is the status.

M41A1 turret is a monument outside the front door.
The M114 was on its way back to TACOM (I think Dontos posted pix of it in the Richardson motorpool at Knox)
There is a M47 outdoors, and one indoors. One of those MAY have gone back to TACOM.
The only M48 is indoors and owned outright by Fred.

Hope this helps!

I finally found these:





There is an M47 also, but can't locate any photos. Gotta try to go by RMP tomorrow (weather permitting), I'll see if I can get some updates.
