Only three (3) T10 armored cars were completed:
registration numbers USA W1305, W1306 and W1307. The cars were
built on the Willys-Overland Whippet "Six" sedan chassis. Lt. Bruce
Palmer later modified one of the cars, including the fitting of grousers
on the outside of the wheels for the purpose of aiding in off-road
performance. Due to the Lieutenant's involvement, the cars are sometimes
referred to as the "Palmer" Armored Car. The T10 armored cars were similar to the T6-4WD, T6, T7, T8 and T9 Armored Cars, which were also based on a automobile or truck chassis and armored and built by the US Quartermaster Corps, Holabird Depot, Maryland. |
