General Motors produced 168,603 of these between 1940-45. Most were sent to Russia, but the landscape doesn't look like Europe, as the trees in the background are surely southern Live Oaks festooned with Spanish Moss, both native to the American southeastern coastal areas from South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and around the gulf to Alabama, and Texas. My dad ran convoys like this in the 1950s during his military service assigned to the US Army Transportation Corps.Mike Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-67740938107377452016-01-23T22:53:56.748+00:002016-01-23T22:53:56.748+00:00They all look very nonchalant.
