Canadian T16

to "Surviving T-16" on this forum: surviving T16s

There are lots of good pix there, even some examples down near you.

The machines were manufactured at a jeep factory in Mass. USA and would have been given a coat of 'jeep' paint at the factory - so Rod Shavers example is painted the right colour.

For more pix, many in colour, try to locate the last years offerings from the Military Vehicle Preservation Association - "Army Motors". There was a very well done series detailing the construction, wartime usage, and restoration of the T-16.

The T-16 was designed to be a gun tractor, towing the 6-pounder anti-tank gun. The period photos show many machines fitted with heavy machine guns from downed aircraft, loaded with booty, and some even rigged with makeshift covers for the crews.
