This time...some "heavy" vets!








And now, for the lovers of heavier vehicles, a couple of beasts!

The blue one seems to be a REO M35, shot by mr. M. del Carmen at Bilbao, Vizcaya, and unfortunately I haven´t got yet more info about this. Which was his main purpose after being demob? Who knows!

The yellow orange GMC is one of the 3 bunch of this truck received at Spain after WW2. They arrived here at the docks of Santander and Bilbao, Cantabric coast, and Barcelona, Catalonia. Many of them were the top closed cab (due to the climatologic conditions) and they received later diesel engines, as those made by Spanish company Barreiros. Mmm, in fact this one, who is now resting peacefully at the Basque countryside, seems to have one of them, because the logo at the grille. But I´m not quite sure which is the manufacturer.

These GMC pics were sent to me by mr. J.C. Fernández-Pello, a real truck lover!! Many thanks again, sir!

J. Oliver´s Willys MB ! And another...





...Spanish CJ3b Viasa, this time from France, too! Monsieur Caudron has sent us a few pics of his jeep restoration. "She"´s a 12 volts with diesel Perkins engine. Nice work, monsieur!

Also I have managed to get -at least!!!- a frontal pic of "Rita", the Willys jeep from mr. J. Oliver! He thinks the paint coat is rather glossy, excesively glossy! Perhaps "she" looks more as a British vehicle, doesn´t she?

Well, enjoy these new pics! And remember, keep´em rolling!
