Wally,

South of Richmond in Petersburg is the U.S. Army Quartermasters Museum. They
don't have many vehicles but they do have General Patton's specially
modified jeep.

East of Richmond off Hwy. 64 south of Williamsburg is the U. S. Army
Transportation Museum at Ft. Eustis. They have an excellent collection of
jeeps, trucks and specialty vehicles used by the Army. They even have a
flying saucer (experimental hoverjeep) on display.

This museum is definetely worth a day to visit.
