This year I followed it for the whole three days: www.convoytoremember.c...-Home.html

#7: Re: Convoy to Remember 2013 Author: Costas_TT, Posted: Sun Sep 01, 2013 3:08 pm ---- The Dodge is a model T215. The body could be the WC3, WC13 or WC21. They were all similar.
Chris' Ford CMP should be an F15A (15 cwt truck).

If the hood number 2051819 is correct, then it will be a WC24

AMX-13 in Switzerland are pretty rare, since most of them were sold to Singapore. The runners are even harder to find:
There are couple of these in the area here...one still does some "light duty" farming, hauling of corn to deer stands, stuff like that. Of course, they're red, but stand out in a region dominated by Farmall A models and the occasional John Deere and Ford classics. An astonishing number of Farmalls see regular use and are unrestored. Next time the tractor show is held, I'll try to get a pic.
I have pics from the last one of a McCormick-Deering (International Harvester) 20T caterpillar tractor of the type used by the army for a number of purposes. It's been restored to Pebble Beach Concours level and makes everybody go weak in the knees.
