Default Half-Track Ford Trucks

Here are some images of truck conversions from 1936 with half-track or caterpillar tracks. Converted by Cunningham in Rochester, NY, the Canadian government purchased several for pulling artillery.

I'd love to have one and drive it to my local grocery store or Home Depot. The only real drawback is the top speed of 15 MPH!

There's one survivor from the Canadian experiment at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. Don't know if any other of these conversions exist today.
