What a Beautiful Truck!

Post by supertsar »

Ran across this cool picture... German troops using a confiscated Polski Fiat 621 L (License built) truck. That is one good looking truck. Poland built over 12,000 of them before the war. Obviously the Germans and Italians used them as well. Would probably be a decent seller since it could be marketed in 3 different lines and there is currently no truck at all available in the Polish 39' line... :wink:

I've been asking for this one for quite a while now. Maybe this year...
There were two cab styles; one more "modern" looking, and a couple other variants.
Add the Romanian army (early war), and you have at least four users; five if the Russians captured any in "39". Someone else will have to document that though...

I've just noticed something very peculiar... isn't that Ed' ONeil (from Married with Children) hanging off the back? And wait.. that's Bob Newhart driving. And Mini-Me sitting on the cab roof, Hitler leaning against the back of the cab...right next to Tom Cruise in his Valkyrie roll... and that guy in the back - My God! That's not a human head!!! And what about the guy in the middle staring intently at the camera... is he trying to hypnotize us or did he just eat some bad Bratwurst? There's something going on here...
