CombinedArms Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 As I was driving home from a visit to Stowe, Vermont, yesterday (August 14), several of the cars that were lining up for Stowe's annual antique car show drove past. One of these "cars" was an M3 Stuart tank manned by a full crew in uniform (everyone in the crew seemed over 55, though I might be wrong.) I got a good view of the driver who was at eye level to my position in the driver's seat of my minivan. It was quite cool. My wife picked up the name of the Stuart as "Rosie the Riveted". If it was a riveted Stuart, it must have been a fairly early model. Anyone have any info on this particular tank--i.e. Rosie--or on the history of riveting in Stuarts? I wish I'd had time to snap a picture but it all happened to fast, and anyway, I was driving. Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that minivan ownership results in a forfeiture of ability to be an arbiter of cool-ness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoofyStance Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Oh, I don't know - check THIS out. A minivan clocking the quarter in the mid-12's? That's almost in Viper territory :eek: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
