Hi. Anyone remember that show from the '60s? About as much as I remember, it
was a bunch of guys who drove jeeps with mounted machine guns and did a good
job of squirrly driving, off jumps and everything.

I was also a fan of the series when it originally aired in the 60's. It
wasn't until later while watching reruns on cable on WGN that I realized, for
the most part, they were driving modified CJ2A's. Every once and awhile you
would see a real MB, but seeing that external gas tank filler on the drivers
side kind of ruined it for me. That and the German's roaring up in their
White half-tracks and M37's! Almost as bad as watching Henry Fonda get out of
an M38 in 'The Battle of the Bulge'.
