At left is a very rare Studebaker US6 truck in US service in Europe. The Studebaker itself was not that rare (195,000 were built), but nearly all went to the USSR via Lend Lease. The few that remained in US service mostly stayed in the US. This is definitely a US6 in US Army service (albeit Air Force) and in Europe – a very rare combination.
