| Miscellaneous Info: | The Wzor 29 (WZ.29) Armored Car was based upon the chassis of the Ursus A 1.5-Ton Truck. As such, the vehicle was often referred to as the Ursus Armored Car. The Ursus A was a license-built copy of the Italian S.P.A. 25C Polonia Lorry. Approximately 10-20 vehicles were produced in two configurations. Most vehicles were built as a typical armored car, but some were un-armed and fitted with loudspeakers for use by Police or Propaganda Units. |
