Anti-tank half track?
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.

Yeah, there's just 4 surviving examples in the US.

One is under restoration at the MVTF www.toadmanstankpictur...ration.htm

One is owned by Robert's Armory in Big Rock, IL

One is in the Patton Museum collection, formerly in the LST Building (prior to that it was on the Mile of Tanks at APG).

Finally, a fourth is presumably still languishing in storage at Quantico Sad
