WW1 era armored car/tank

found on http://shushpanzer-ru.livejournal.com/?skip=125 but the other place on the net it's found http://www.vintag.es/2013/05/old-photos-of-boston-police.html claims it's a photo by Leslie Jones, and has something to do with Boston Police. I doubt the Boston relationship, look in the background. US Army calvalry. Tents, horses, encampment. WW1 era Boston police with rifles? Silly. Regardless, it's an interesting crossover

an early armored truck cash transporter

found on the HAMB and instantly reminded me of the only other early armored truck I've ever seen http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/06/im-fascinated-by-this-armored-truck.html

most unusual... I think you'll agree. A Rolls Royce woody school bus served in Kenya to bus kids to soccer and cricket mateches, was built for a Maharajah as a regular Silver Ghost, but commandeered by the British Govt and built as an armored car for WW1 ended up used to drive HRH Princess Margaret to an agricultural show . Solidly in first place for "reality is bizarre" trophy

After many more years, it was restored and now lives in South Wales where some of the students that had ridden in it when it was a woody bus were met by the new owner and reunited with it. http://www.couperus.org/Rolls/Rolls2.html

A company seems to think there is a market for luxury armored vehicles... I wonder if that is farfetched. The Kombat T98 looks tough though

It's been a couple years since I posted the best of Dieselpunk... so here's an update

 Russian, 1937

 Ever seen a tank tread like this? I haven't. It's an Imgoldby transporter

Lotsa engines, and a huge fuselage... Italian? Russian?
All found on the militant Steampunk style site.. . http://dieselpunk.livejournal.com

Think anyone else has a custom armored truck? Or anyone but West Coast Customs has custoimized one? I doubt it... what becomes of old armored trucks?
