Miscellaneous Info: Only one T6 armored car was produced, which was converted from one of the EARLIER T7 Armored Cars. However, this vehicle did not have the same interchangeable body as that of the T7. The T6's registration number was USA W6011.  In addition, the T6 should not be confused with the first "Holabird" produced armored car, the T6-4WD (4-Wheel Drive) armored car built in 1928.

The T6 armored car is similar to the T6-4WD, T7,
T8, T9 and T10 Armored Cars as they were all based on an automobile or truck chassis and armored and built by the U.S. Quartermaster Corps (QMC), Holabird Depot, Maryland.
