Hi all!
I'm sure many of you are aware of the M38 Pilot models but I did not know about them till i came across this article.
It is also a useful source into the development of the M38 so I'm sharing it.
Here is the link:

Cheers!

Check out the MVPA's magazine Army Motors #126 and Ryan's M-38 book for more details on the Pilot models!

|

Studying the M38 Reference Guide as I sometimes do, I have a question that maybe the Author or one of the Contributors can help answer?
Page 24 says that one of the six M38 Pilot Models, serial number MC10005 (registration number 2368163) still exists "today".
The latest copyright date on my book is 2009 (I believe makes it the 2nd Edition), so "today" is now 13 years later.
Does anybody know where MC10005 is today (March 21, 2022)?
Is it privately owned? Still original? Restored? In a museum somewhere for all to see? Locked in a vault?
I searched this forum with no joy figuring if any info was available, it could be found here. Maybe I missed it.
I would've thought this special M38 would be fairly easy to find, maybe even see a few photo's of it "today", and see how history is treating it.
I couldn't find a copy of Army Motors #126 (dated April 2008).
I hope it's not a state secret. Just curiosity on my part.
Thinking others might be interested as well.
It's time for an update on this gem!
