The Princess - Before & After

A TALE OF THE PRINCESS
Many of you may recall The Princess as one of the more memorable 'characters' in "African Connection". This 1943 Autocar M3 half-track military vehicle found its way to Universal Studios in the 1960's, and went on to appear in numerous movies and television series. The Princess was sold by Universal in 1992, and then passed through several owners before military vehicle restorer Ron Leatherman discovered her. Mr. Leatherman acquired the beat-up half-track in 2002, and has painstakingly restored The Princess to her original military glory.
