Car #1000 built for the US Army in 1943 by ACF. Was used to transport returning wounded combatants from port to US hospitals. Saw service during Korean War, the Strtegic Command converted to a communications car during Vietnam. Government then surplussed car, and it went through 3 private owners before the Museum acquired it.
