1942 Wc 25 radio command car

[David DeWeese]

Hi Gordon,
Bought another 1/2 ton command car a few years ago from a nice old gentleman in Gruver, Texas, north of Amarillo.
He told me that in the '40's an Oliver tractor dealer in Amarillo bought a train load of 1/2 ton command cars and sold them to the public.

He said the local farmers bought two of them each for $70 a piece, and used one truck for farm use and the other one for parts....
Almost all you find today in the Texas panhandle are cut 1/2 ton command cars, probably most of them from that load...
Thanks, David
