The main reason the younger is getting the post war is they are less
expensive and the younger people have less money to be able to spend. I
agree ALL MILITARY VEHICLES ARE MILITARY VEHICLES. the year does not mater.
If we want a next generation of vehicle collectors we better embrace the
post war tucks and quit being era snobs.
