The Dodge Power Wagon, that was the real pickup truck. The ones built 1946 thru 1949. I can not tell you how much I have wanted one of those.

I have the privilige of keeping two dodges a WC51 and a WC 54. I don't own them , they belong to those who built them, and served with them. I'm just the custodian for this generation.

I described myself the same way with my collection. A g506 and a cckw. I would like to do some restoration work on them. Mainly because I am trying to preserve them.

"That ‘Secret Instrument’ that places them on Target." Just imagine how powerful that advantage must have been at the time to go to such lengths to protect that ‘Secret Instrument.’ It is very likely that this film was only shown as a promotional film to Chrysler Workers.

No other Army in the world had the capacity for transport like the U.S.! This country even supplied transport vehicles for its Allies! An Army fights on its stomach and the Germans were still using Horse drawn transport, so trying to feed the troops in the field was a logistical nightmare! For the most part, American units were well supplied, at least better than their counterparts thanks to a very robust Automotive industry in the U.S.! A major component in winning that war!

The Chrysler XIV-2220 (XI-2220 from 1944) was an experimental 2,500 hp, 2,220 cubic inch (36.4 liter) liquid-cooled inverted-V-16 aircraft engine designed by Chrysler starting in 1940. Although several aircraft designs had considered using it, by the time it was ready for use in 1945 the war was already over.

All written in Native Indian for those in the know - you just got to read the Code, Daddy-oh! Oh, those WCs were a work of Brute Beauty, eh? The G.I., Government and post-war buyer got their money's worth with a Power Wagon, that's a for sure!.

They were built by a consortium of different companies. They were equipped with GM Hydramatic automatic transmissions, once only available in Oldsmobile and Cadillac cars.
