Gyrene Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Looks pretty rough. I'd have a hard time finding the original leather seats and chrome trim available in those late war American TD's... Gyrene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CombinedArms Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Just the vehicle I need to drive down to the local Dunkin Donuts. Just wish it had a little more armor protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 These vehicles are out there; why do so few of them actually turn up in Hollywood films where they would be more appropriate than an M48 Patton or M41 Walker Bulldog???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Deadmarsh Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 I think he needs to get in touch with Marco Bergman for a new paint job. And for Christ's sake, wash those wheels down with some CLR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 An engineer friend of mine sent me a postcard from Yugoslavia of an M36B1 still in service over there; I posted a pic of the paint scheme on here last year some time - kind of a bright orangey-brown with green; the crew were wearing Soviet style tankers helmets. Wonder what the history is behind this one - T-55 engine? I know the Tiger in BoB was a T-55 converted, and there was one at Beltring (unless they were one and the same). I take it the T-55 is relatively easy to get nowadays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Mc Auliffe Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 Aside from the poor gas mileage, this could be a great commuting vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the ex-Croatian M36s I've seen have the factory installed roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
