Title: Is this your next Mercedes?
Post by: BobA on September 07, 2011, 03:14:01 pm: I never knew that they made this type of vehicle but I guess they all do just don't show them to the public.

Not that they were given much choice in the matter, but I am guessing that the panzer was their top produced vechicle in the early 40's.

Cadillac built tanks, not that they do now though.

Yeah, in my opinion they stopped building tanks in the 70's

I want one of those. I would drive around my village pretending to be a 'Goon' from The Rockford Files.
