I like that they used old military truck wheels to unload this half track

2025 Retromobile is going to shine a spotlight on Adolphe Kégresse, and showcase his invention, the half-track. This innovative solution provided vehicles with the opportunity to move around in extreme environments, and aided in creating exciting automobile expeditions.

If you're not familiar with those expeditions, there was one across Africa, and one across Canada (I'm sure there must have been more I haven't heard of though)

After the cruise through Africa in 1926,

A half track fire engine? In Philly? WTH? (Shas finds the photo of the month!!) Thanks Shas! Fantastic photo! Used from 1961-1969, held 1000 gallons of water and was used to fight grass fires. Probably Army Surplus from WW2, or Korea

The failed 1934 expedition across Canada in Citreon half tracks

Following the Citroen adventures across Africa,  http://justacarguy.blogspot.ca/2014/10/from-algeria-to-mozambique-by-eight-10.html

Citroens were used to cross the previously unconquered Canadian mountains and prairies:

Bedaux announced his intention to cross northeastern BC with Citroën half-track trucks, the Canadian Sub-Arctic Expedition, launching from Edmonton, Alberta on July 6, 1934 and contained a formidable array of talent and beauty, including Floyd Crosby, a Hollywood cinematographer, two land surveyors, Frank Swannell and Ernest Lamarque, mining engineer Jack Bocock, a Citroën mechanic, many cowboys, as well as Bedaux’s mistress, his wife and her maid.

Due to a combination of weather, terrain and poor planning, the expedition failed and the Citroën vehicles were abandoned, one by one, some in more dramatic fashion than others. Two trucks slid off 120 foot high cliffs, while the cameras rolled. Another was sent by raft down the river, where it was to meet a carefully planted stick of dynamite. The shot was ruined when the dynamite failed to go off and the truck floated into a sandbar. The two remaining Citroens were abandoned at a ranch near Halfway River.

Once the highway opened up the territory in the 1950's around Telegraph Creek, a Fort St. John, B.C. automotive dealer searched out the abandonded Citroens and using their parts assembled one that he used and donated to the Western Development Museum of Saskatoon in the 1950s.

Born in France in 1886, Charles Bedaux moved to the United States and became a naturalized American citizen. He was a millionaire based on management consulting.

In 1937 he hosted the marriage of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor at his French chateau. Collaborationist activities with Nazi-occupied France led to his 1942 arrest in North Africa while overseeing a German pipeline project, he was taken back to the United States on charges of treason, and overdosed on sleeping pills in a Florida prison in 1944.
