It's threads like this when you realize how diverse our members and their vehicles are!

 

[M35fan]

This list requires a lot of thought. All are excellent choices. Good luck, everyone!

some things I'll say for sure..

that unimog really looks like it thinks its a high-speed backhoe tractor (except for two separate seats instead of spin-around single seat)

@mkcoen has an interesting something as I wonder about whats with its hood in particular

is @kendelrio a Kaiser? (Sure doesn't even look like a Jeep and I can too easily tell that its no Hummer neither)

Yes. A 1967 M715 Kaiser-Jeep. I have a thread detailing her rebuild/rise from the ashes HERE if you would like to persuse the work I've done since purchase.

No way do I expect to win this title, but it's been a great privilege & honor to have been voted MV of the month for two separate months. Best of luck to you all & congrats to each of you for winning...

My 1964 M35A2...


My 1991 M923A2/5ton...

Lol what stinks is I can't put current pics of the M715 up because I want to enter her this year in her new configuration and don't want to "spoil" it...

@SCM35A2 I want say two things for now
1. I can understand where the modern world is coming from but still its sometimes simply nice to have a engine that is just a raw engine and the only electrical present at all is for the spark/glow system alone, nothing more you know?? or to aptly quote Montgomery Scott at a silly moment "the more they overthink the plumbing the easier it is to back up the drain"
2. nice angled pedestal for the automatic transmission as to let a third person crowd into the cab I'll imagine?

 

[M813rc]

This would be an almost impossible choice, given the candidates.

The only thing saving me from a great deal of hair-pulling and gnashing of teeth trying to make up my mind is that one belongs to my brother-from-another-mother , so......

Cheers

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.

learned a bit something new there, thanks @mkcoen (mind you I had already suspected it was originally operating in tropical climate what with that the soft-top looked like it was indeed designed with no sides apparently in mind)
