Over on the
WW2 US CHEVROLET and GMC DUKW and TRUCK FORUM, Ross Prince posted a message
WWII trucks sold at auction last weekend:
"Hello from Australia! I just thought I would share with everyone some interesting facts and figures from a large auction last weekend. There were 4 Studebaker US6 trucks-ex NSW bush fire brigade-mostly good overall condition, tires good, rear tray bodies, minimal rust. One had 2,000 miles on the clock! The others ranged up to 24,000miles. They sold for $3,000 to $5,000.
Next were 4 Federal 604 tractor trucks. One had a non original motor and was in daily use. The others were in reasonable condition, with one dismembered for spare parts. Prices ranged from $400 (for the one in parts) to $6,000.
Next was a very rare Ford Marmon-Herrington 6x6, 1942 model I was told. It sold for $2,200. I don't know any more details of this one, unfortunately.
Hopefully, all will go to good homes, and live again one day!"
Who knows more about the fate of that Ford/Marmon-Herrington 6x6?
