Hello, all!

I'd like to request the support of a few MV owners for an upcoming event at the Western Museum of Flight in Torrance, California (app. 15miles SW of LAX).

On Saturday, 9 October 2010, we will be hosting a Salute to North American Aviation. Our Grand Marshall will be famed pilot Mr. Bob Hoover. We are planning on hosting between 10 and 20 NAA warbirds including P-51, B-25, T-6, T-28, OV-10, F-86, and Navion aircraft.

Western Museum of Flight - Aviation Museum

I have been tasked with rustling up some period (1939 - 1969) classic cars to park and display with the warbirds.I have access to a good number of civilian vehicles, but would like NAA biggest customer, the military, also represented.

To this end, I am looking for 4 vehicles: a WWII MB / GPW 1/4 ton, a Korean War era M38A1, and a Vietnam War era M151. I'd also like something other than a jeep, maybe a WC series or M37 series vehicle, even up to a 1 1/2ton truck. I'd prefer clean and fairly stock vehicles, as they will be appearing with restored warbirds and 100 point show cars.

In return, I can offer you a great day of meeting aviation greats and some of the men and women that supported them.

Please reply to this post or by private message and I will be contacting you!

Thanx for reading!

I won't have a vehicle for the period you are looking for but I will certainly put the date on my calendar.
Best of luck to you and I hope to see you there.

Heya, Maynard83!

Thanx for the offer... depending on the feedback we get from this event, we may do more events with military vehicles. Much as I love old aircraft, I definately have more than a little "treadhead" in me!

I'll be out on the ramp all day, amongst all the wings and wheels!
