When I met Mike at the last Gracey's beer call, he didn't seem a day over 150yrs old!

Good you have a Ford CMP running around its Home Town, as this great mural was painted over when the building changed ownership. . . (source)

Hanno,

I had a wonderful experience and a unique opportunity to speak to the gentleman in the mural who was wearing the cap and goggles. He was a teenager during the war and was a test driver for the Carriers and CMPs built by Ford. He is still alive today and in good health for his age.

Cheers

Mike,

Excellent! That´s great about driving around in old army trucks, you attract that kind of people.
