Pair of C15 4x2 trucks being converted with “sandwich armour”
Photo via Vladislav Dormann. Moshe CT commented: “Building armour on CMP trucks in Israel for war of independence 1948. Nickname "sandwich armed car" ,because the armour consistsed of 2 metal plates & a wooden plate in between . There were several types and sizes built as full armed cars & cab armour for flat bed trucks for supply convoys. You can see the "sandwich" armour plates laid in front of the trucks. The first one was called "butterfly armed car" because of the shape of the roof lids , when opened,as in the photo.” IMG_0758.jpeg
