We’re kicking off our US Vehicle Special issue with a real rarity. It’s a 1940
k

i l
i
Dodge VC3, just one of 816 ordered by the US Army. It’s basically a �½-ton civvy
pickup with four-wheel drive, an impressive brush guard and a straight military
bumper at the front featuring a pair of extra towing hooks. It’s a rare beast
in the US and an even rarer sight here. In fact, this example, owned by Derek
Evans, is thought to be the only one in the UK.
