George is a good guy, his M5 has the standard two Cadillac V8s. Only the M3
series of light tanks had radials.
>From what George told me, the 25lber looking barrel is just for looks. Hope
that the original 37mm is still under it.
Gotta run

Mr. Baker, I just had to see if you had any pictures of the M5 on the old
web site. Very pleased to see you do. If you'll let the public take a peek
at it in person, I might be planning a weekend "vacation" to Tennessee.
I do have a question or two. Does this have the radial engine in it? Also,
does the main gun have a 25 pounder look to it, or is that just me? I have
only seen one of these in person and lots of pictures and know even less
that I think about such things, but the gun looks bigger that the one(s) I
have seen. They have one on display at Ft. Jackson I might be about to take
some pictures of next week if you need any of the exterior. Not sure how
the MP's will feel about me walking on the grass, but I suspect they will
let me know.
Call it what you will folks, (jealousy) but that burning desire to own a
piece of Armour is just getting worse.
Joe, sure wish I had a tank, Trapp
