The M37 was used by the Israeli Defense Forces during the Six Day War. The white and black hood markings were to allow air assets to identify friendlies on the ground.
Well it looks like a limited campaign event. I’ll start things off with the 1954 M-37 “IshMater.” This was an eBay purchase because the wife wanted a mid-fifties Power Wagon and I thought the M-37 was way cooler. It came to us in OD green and was going to be returned to that until we discovered...
