Thought at first it was a Cadillac Gage Stingray... then thought it might be the M8 Buford AGS that sprung from the same project... but based on the rear arrangement I'll stick with the Stingray... though the turret seems odd?

I would say M8, it has a very distinct slope in the rear.

As this is a WW2 forum shouldn't we stick to that period? And von Poop should be banned from this thread, don't ask me why!

Arneken, The rules of the game are as follows:

1 - Somebody (in this case Joe) puts up a photo with the question.
2 - We poor mortals try to guess, more or less accurately,
3 - After a variable toime to allow answers to come in, the original poster determines which of the replies is correct.
4 - The guy/girl with the corrrect answer then gets the right to put up a new photo and we repeat the cycle.

All right Hawkeye, your turn then, so Joe says.

Shall we stick to WW2 subjects, which by the way is the scope of this forum?
