[shamirnewell]

Max looks like you got it. Flush ok a very thorough answer. Over to you Max

[Maxschnauzer]

Thank you , shamirnewell.
It gets tougher every time to find one that's somewhat difficult and this one should also go very quickly (truck in front only is necessary):

[Pz III]

Studebaker T-2 Ace

[Maxschnauzer]

You got it, Rich. I get a kick out of those old Studebakers, they always seem to have a perplexed expression.
I also find it interesting that they put Trilex rims on such a small vehicle. Very cool indeed.

Take it away!

Hi Pz III, hi Max,

a very good ID with Studebaker, Pz III, but I think it is not the type 2T of the year 1934, but the type 1T of the next year, 1935. Here a pic of a T2 out of the book "Studebaker Trucks 1927 - 1940 Photo Archive" by Howard L. Applegate.

Best regards

As Bert says, it is a 1935 Studebaker. I was too late to get on the quiz.
Here another photo showing some details.

Hi Rich, Bert, and Bill.
Very interesting. I had the pic filed as a "1935 Studebaker Ace" after using this purported '35 T-2 as an exemplar (same truck as in Bill's photo actually). The second photo I have was labelled a '35 1T. (note that both have horizontal louvers)

Since the difference is still regretably somewhat murky to me except for the single rear wheels in my second photo , I would like Rich to proceed with the Quiz on the basis of his ID and to "owe you guys one".

Just for kicks here's an ad from 1935:

Thanks Guys - I will come up with something shortly. As soon as I shake this nasty flu like garbage I have been fighting off for the last few days.

Rich

[Pz III]

Ok finally feeling better. Here is one for you guys - although I don't think it will take long.

This Finnish soldiers have captured a Soviet truck YG-10

[SIS 5]

Hi glushenko,

a very good ID of a Russian YaG truck. But isn´t it the type YaG 6?

Regards

Bert

[ilfil]

Hi Bert,
Surely it is YaG-6. YaG-10 is 3-axle truck.
"Yours" is one of the two captured by the Finns in Savinovan kyla area on 5 September 1941.
Cheers!

[glushenko]

Yes, it's a truck YaG-6. I was a little rushed and wrong with the answer.

[Pz III]

Bert has it correct. It is a Russian YaG 6 captured by the Finns. Your turn Bert
