Ddey65 ◊ 2006-07-07 15:17	Wow, and painted up to look like a Soviet Bloc Command Car too. Couldn't they just get a UAZ glider kit and put it on a Jeep Chassis, or something like that?

firebird86 ◊ 2006-07-08 08:41	Glider kits are incomplete new vehicles that only need to have to your engine, transmission, axles, suspension, wheels and tires installed on, this is normally done with heavy trucks. This method greatly reduces the expense of up grading your fleet or replacing a wrecked unit.
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2006-07-08 12:20	Thanks, Firebird86. I don't suppose that there were many UAZs in the US in 1984 -- the Cold War was, after all, still ongoing. In any case, only a few military vehicle experts would have recognised a real UAZ or noticed that the supposed Soviet command car was an old Dodge from the Second World War. I'm sure one could build a fake UAZ on a Jeep or Land Rover, etc, chassis, but there wouldn't be much point.

They were sent over by America under the lend lease agreement, and no doubt they were still in use by them well into the Cold War, so technically speaking having a Dodge in this scenario is not as far fetched as it sounds!
SBG ◊ 2009-06-12 18:23	Alexander wrote It hasn't got a winch, therefore it is a WC56. Agreed. The 57 was what Patton had. The 56 is a non winch model. -- Last edit: 2009-06-12 18:23:10

"From" Dodge "on a dirt road could not go, no car - no" Emka "or" OPEL "or" Mercedes »...» - the memories of the old front-line driver cited in each article on "Dodge - three-quarters . But after the war, "the Americans" in the Soviet Union somehow not get accustomed. Firstly, most of these vehicles under the contract of the Lend-Lease had to return to the U.S.. Drivers as they could bring them into order and polish before the American Commission, and those checking the certificate of acceptance, immediately allowed jeeps under a press and loaded on a ship - so more fit into the holds. At the same cars that remained in the Soviet Union did not supply spare parts, especially not enough tire size 9.00 x16. Have survived only a few Dodge, raised more from America."
