heavyhauler Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 In the latest issue of the WOT, there was a 1948 EQSW armored car for sale formerly of the Wells Fargo Co. Here is another of these very rare trucks:It has bullet proof glass and was found in a famous scrap yard in Chicago and hauled back east. It may be a former Brinks truck-waiting for the VIN to confirm but, basically, these trucks were designed to be scrapped after use. It is interesting that a very few survive. Comments are most welcome.John Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21635-armored-carstrucks/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavyhauler Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 That is a good question because it is located somewhere in CT. It is 1 of 1-quite rare with what looks like a 707 gas engine, 5 speed trans and reinforced fire wall. The truck is completely covered in armor with bullet proof glass, gun ports etc. It is likely an LJ1D probably from 1945-50. It is for sale if anyone is interested.John Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21635-armored-carstrucks/#findComment-91069 Share on other sites More sharing options...
