Hello Again,

For those of you seeing this for the first time, please check out the other vehicles and boats I am listing so you can get a better understanding of this unique vehicle and the man who cared for them.
My Father bought this in 1990 and other than the title I cannot give information prior to then.
He added the little things over the years (see photos for the full extent of the accessories) and kept it in its pristine condition you see here.
This was his Parade Vehicle - Every Veterans Day Parade for 28 years this led the procession.
I have traced the Vin number and verified where it came off the assembly line (see photo)
Though there are many additions to the accessories (see photos and list below) it started its life as 1 of only 1035 produced. The body tag has been painted over so I cant tell which one of the 1035 it is. I ground down to get to the vin but the tag is fragile and I'm worried I will ruin it for good.
For those who are not enthusiasts, this was the vehicle reserved for Generals. General Patton himself could have spent time in this one as easily as any of the others he was pictured with before, during and after the war. I cannot make the specific claim any more than the next guy. But with the radio configuration and the small production, it is as likely as not he spent some time in the back seat.
SPECIFICS:

ENGINE - This is the same type 230 that all command cars came with. You engine buffs will have to do your work with the stamp to figure out if it is original. It runs perfect and doesn't leak. It has the late model horn and all military accessories (generator, carburetor, etc) that should be under the hood. The only rust on the whole vehicle is surface rust on the manifold and if my Dad didn't want to paint over it I am not either. The odometer reads 00809. I don't know what to tell you about this as far as rebuilt or original mileage or ?
INTERIOR - Loaded with Military Accessories befitting a General's ride. Leather seats front and back. Back has 5 feet of leg room. Radio is mounted behind the front passenger seat and across the back of the seat is the antenna which screw together to over 20ft high. The rifles are for show only and are not included (or make separate offer) and there is a separate set of rifle holders that are included. The dash is in perfect shape and all gauges work.
BODY - Straight and Rust Free. Even the leather patch around the gas cap is in great condition. All latches and handles move smoothly
TAILGATE - Notice in the picture that there is a cubby hole built in. It looks like it was factory made but it would block where the board slides in for the 2 guards who rode on the back would stand. Enthusiasts out there help me out with this unique little quirk! Everything in the back is included. The radio phone, the signal light with all colored glass filters is in perfect shape. Second signal light and spare radio as well. The pouch has various hand books related to the vehicle and there are 3 helmets that are in the back seat that will be included as well. There is a camo net that may or may not have been original that is included as well.

Though the Big Blue Dodge was his favorite to drive, this was the vehicle that he was most proud of. If you were at a Military Show on the West Coast over the last few decades he was there trying to get everything perfect. The black out lights on the rear was one of his later purchases.
This is a collectors item and he treated it that way. No driving in the rain, no mud on your shoes. Though it will climb hills and ford rivers like a Hummer, he kept it covered, trailered and Paraded. I am hoping that the new buyer treats it the same. Thanks in advance for your interest and I will do my best to answer all questions and take whatever pictures you want. Kind Regards, Brad

NOTE: I have just pulled out the title and it reads 1944. I talked to the DMV and they told me that if there was a lost title and a bill of sale, then this title could have been generated from that alone, as their system does not track/confirm Military Vehicles from that era. So unless I get new documentation that says otherwise, (and please come forward if you have any), this remains a 1942 and the title is incorrect on the date. All other items such as the Name, the VIN and the Plate Number are correct and the title is clear and in my possession.

Dodge, Jeep and Ram could soon be owned by Chinese automakers

Mon, Aug 14 2017

For the past several years, Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has made it widely known that the automaker he helms is up for grabs. First, he sent an email to GM CEO Mary Barra, who immediately refused to even discuss a merger. Later, Marchionne set his sights on Volkswagen. That too was swiftly rebuffed. It seemed like no global automaker was remotely interested in a partnership. Now, Automotive News reports that several Chinese automakers have come calling, only FCA isn't ready to answer. At least not yet. The news broke this morning that a major Chinese automaker had made an offer to purchase FCA for slightly above market value. FCA refused, saying the offer wasn't quite generous enough. It's unclear which automaker made the offer, but Automotive News says there's more than one interested party. FCA representatives have recently traveled to China to meet with Great Wall Motors, while Chinese representatives were seen at FCA corporate headquarters in Auburn Hills, Mich. The Chinese government has a lot of money invested in local automakers. It's putting pressure on these automakers to expand globally, including to the United States. As it stands, it's a matter of when a Chinese automaker will start selling cars here, not if. Purchasing an established automaker with a wide range of products and a huge dealer network would do wonders in giving the Chinese a foothold here. Sure, Geely owns Volvo, but a luxury automaker doesn't have nearly as much reach as a more mainstream company like FCA. This seems like the best case scenario for both a Chinese automaker looking to move into the U.S. and for FCA, at least from a business standpoint. The latter doesn't seem to have any other interested parties. It will be interesting to see how FCA would sell a deal like this to the public. We're not sure everyone will be happy with Dodge, Jeep and Ram falling under Chinese ownership. FCA didn't turn down the Chinese because they didn't like the idea. It turned down the offer because there wasn't enough money on the table. Related Video: News Source: Automotive News Earnings/Financials Alfa Romeo Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep RAM

Fiat Chrysler CEO says final merger talks with Peugeot going well

Thu, Jan 23 2020

BRUSSELS — Fiat Chrysler's chief executive Michael Manley said on Wednesday that merger talks with Peugeot owner PSAÂ to create the world's No. 4 carmaker are progressing well and he hopes to have a deal within 12-14 months. Speaking to Reuters on the sidelines of an industry meeting, he said he doesn't expect any major obstacles that could delay a final agreement. "Talks are progressing really well," Manley said about negotiations with the French carmaker ahead of a briefing by the European automotive association (ACEA), of which he is president. His comments come a month after the two carmakers agreed to a binding deal worth about $50 billion to combine forces in response to a slowdown in global demand and mounting costs of making cleaner vehicles amid tighter emissions regulations. Manley's timeline for completing the deal by early 2021 is in line with a forecast made by the companies in December. Fiat and Peugeot are now getting into the details of how the merger will work, including choosing which vehicle platforms Â— the technological underpinnings of a vehicle Â— will fit which products in a combined company. Because customers in different locations still prefer vastly different cars, there is room for multiple platforms in a combined group, Manley said. "That global platform is an elusive beast," he added. "This concept of a massive global platform in my mind is almost a myth, but that doesnÂ’t mean to say weÂ’re not going to recruit significant volume." Related Video: Â Â
