Manstein's revenge

If any of you MOJO's can identify the car I was driving based on the snippet of side mirror, etc. caught in the pic...I'll post an actual pic of myself in here wearing my full-dress uniform...

Medicman took my 1st guess, so my 2nd is

Oldsmobile Achieva !

I have many books and my Lair smells of rich mahogany!!! Stay thirsty my fellow MOJOs!

Gentleman, I am a Field Marshal. Let's keep that in mind when considering the car I would be in...

I was stationed at Fort Knox 1984-87, including a stint at the Patton Museum while I was recovering from my parachute accident. It was a great museum back then, with the diaromas for the Vietnam War just going in. Got a chance to clamber around the MBT-70, which at the time was at the LST building. That building housed alot of the armor that wasn't yet rennovated. It was built to fit the dimensions of an LST during WWII so that the Armor guys could figure out what could fit in.

Shame they are moving it to Benning. Knox will always be the home of Armor. Benning was for the busheaters...

I will admit I started as a bush-eater. Benning Airborne class 26-83. Best class in history. Black hats can't smoke us now!

But after 26 broken bones and learning how to walk again, I rebranched to Armor. Easier on the legs.

Its a "Thing" by VW with the upgrade kit that features delux side view mirrors that distort the reflected image to look like a Mercedes SLS . Whistling

I too was thinking maybe the 'Manstein's Rod'.

Perhaps a Mercedes with halftrack treads in the back.

I'll have to visit Benning when they get the stuff set up. I visited the Patton museum about five years ago and was amazed with all the cool stuff they had.

Audi A4? That's a pretty bright blue shade of Panzer gray.

Cool pics, by the way...

If any of you MOJO's can identify the car I was driving based on the snippet of side mirror, etc. caught in the pic...I'll post an actual pic of myself in here wearing my full-dress uniform...

I'm seeing gloss black paint, 2-door, what looks like a little up-sweep in the lower windowline and enough colour difference to make me think rag-top... Saab 9-3 convertible.

Or a tricked-out Kubelwagon with a fresh coat of black jackboot polish. Hmm
