Vehicle Description
1942 Dodge WC56 Command Vehicle
Military vehicles aren't our specialty but every once in a while we
come across one that is too cool to pass up. One of the more fun
parts of dealing with classic cars is the history lessons every car
gives you and this 1942 Dodge WC56 Command vehicle is no different.
Used in WWII, these vehicles were central command and often kept
some of the higher ranked military members safe while allowing them
to see and control their troops. In fact, General George S Patton
rode in one of these vehicles and it is currently featured in a
museum.
Painted in an Army Green with White stars it is obvious from first
sight that this is a military vehicle. You won't find the smooth
shiny finish and eye catching chrome like you would on a lot of our
inventory because that just isn't what this automobile was meant to
be. It was built to take a beating and be easy to maintain. You
needed to be able to drive through any condition with ease and
simply spray it off from top to bottom if for some reason someone
actually wanted it cleaned. It is powered by a inline 6 cylinder
that was just gone through to insure it is running properly. Yes,
that's right! This isn't a non operational display piece but a
fully functioning, driving WWII vehicle. The 4 speed transmission
runs through the gears well and being a 4x4 military vehicle has a
bit of a different set up than your typical car.
The amount of space in the interior is really shocking at first,
especially if you are used to climbing into small street rods. The
dual bench seats have a ton of room and are Tan to match the cloth
top. Whether you are a history buff looking to buy your own piece
of history or just someone in search of their next unique classic
you need to check this thing out. You don't see a lot of these
around and the number in existence is unknown. Due to the
conditions that they were used in you would suspect there are very
few still running.
