> Hi Guys,
>
> My name is Dennis Buijs, I am from the Netherlands, and relatively new
> to the mil-veh-list. I do have a 1943 Ford GPW and am interested in WW2
> military vehicles and all that relates to this war: museums, militaria
> etc. I did make some contributions to Steve Malikoffs' WW2 jeep
> Homepage. Check it out!
>
> The information I am searching for at this moment has nothing to do with
> WW2 area vehicles. I am looking for information on the M-37.
> About a year ago I spotted an M-37 near Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I
> pass this vehicle every day when I go to work. It is still there, on the
> same place as a year ago.It seems like it has been dumped by the owner,
> a constructioncompany. The vehicle is in army green. The vehicle has a
> winch in front, and has some kind of hardtop or cabine. I think this
> isn't original.It looks like it used to be an open cabine.I think it is
> best described as an army green pickup truck with winch.
>
> My questions are:
>
> -Did the M-37 see service in Europe?
> -What countries, army units, did use it?
> -How can I determine what year this M-37 dates from?
> -How can I determine the type of M-37?
> -How rare are M-37's in Europe?
> -What are the prices depending the different vehicle conditions?
> -How hard are parts to find?
> -What are the main problems to run into, when restoring an M-37?
> -Are there M-37 sites on the WWW.?
>
> I know these are a lot of questions but I like to be specific. I am a
> bit in love with this vehicle. You'll know that kind of feeling! I
> haven't any concrete plans of buying this vehicle. When I have more
> information on the M-37, I might contact the company and ask if it is
> for sale. It will be a pity, when one bad day, they decide it is a
> worthless wreck. And dump the vehicle as old iron. Considering the
> condition and placeof the vehicle, I won'tbe surprised if that happened
> one day. That day,I'll cry a little.
