Years ago I restored a Cadillac-Gage V-100
armored personnel carrier for an eccentric
doctor, military collector, friend of mine. We
actually had a similar ord. in that town. I
simply registered the tank as an industrial/farm
vehicle and it couldn't be touched. It did
result in the city council getting a little
pissed at their chief of police (me), and it went
down hill from there, but that's a different
story.
