OK, here are some pics from this morning. Yesterday was sunny and pleasant; what a difference a day makes. I hope I can remember to get some pictures without the snow.

The picture of the Duster in Victoria, IL is a few years old.

LVT3C is no longer at American Legion Post 285, 571 E North St. Don't know where it went.

The LVT was repainted and moved to a new location in Galesburg, IL. A radio station has posted two news items about the LTV.
