Vintage shots from days gone by!

Thanks for sharing those mothers day photos. Great to see with also the story behind it.

 

See the hopped up 40 coupe parked on the other side of the street?
Nice pic

 

Yes I agree it must have been vulnerable. The shields were strong neither.
But it was not really an armored carrier such as e.g. the White half track. This was used as scout car and courier between the front and head quarters.
The tires were filled by rubber sponge, thus bullets would not destroy them.
