This 1943 WC54 belongs to Reto Stalder from
Switzerland. The vehicle was used by the Swiss army after the war. It took
Reto 4 years to restore the vehicle. Reto told me the WC54 is a rare vehicle
in his country. Only 4 known to survive. It has 82nd US Airborne Division
markings on it. The 82nd AB fought in during WW2 in Italy, Normandy, Holland
and Belgium. And is considered one of the elite forces and still exists
today.

These photos were sent in by Bill Betts from Northants, UK. He got his Dodge from the Wilkingson railway yard at Harpenden in 1984 and drove it to Normandy in 1985. In 1993 Bill's Dodge carried the F/A Cup back when Arsenal won it. Video footage of this trip was used as a promo for Sky TV. Bill thinks this is the only WW2 Dodge in the world has that fame.

These photos show the WC54 that is owned by Sean Yates It spent a good portion of it's life in the Fresno, CA area, so it's relatively rust free.The vehicle was converted to 12 volt and the "windows" were cut in the side to make it into a camper. It runs, and the brakes work, but it needs going over with a fine toothed comb. |
