| AMC M422-A1 'Mighty Mite' Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) |
2491tj  | no prob..the short wheelbase of the vehicle means it can still be driven on 3 wheels..should one be off for some reason Intended as a light vehicle which could be carried by the USMC helicopters of the period, it could be slung under any helicopter then in use by the USMC..unlike the Jeep. It was built by Mid American Research Corporation at Wheatland, Pennsylvania, with a Porsche flat four engine. each vehicle,when new, cost $5,200 US Dollars to make..three variations were built, differing only in that some variants have no spare tyre/tool box..some variants will have a tool box and spare tyre..some variants will have a windshield and spare tyre from the M38 Jeep..al vehicles had permanent 4 wheel drive and an alluminium body..and weighed 100 pounds more that a WW2 german Kubelwagen..even though the Kubel is a bigger vehicle! expense and lack of spares killed the vehicle off from the USMC, the last being sold into the civillian market in the 1970s..most were bought by film companies to use as "Jeeps", and thats where you will see most of them..in the movies. As for preservation, theres only a few in the USA, with i think 1 example in the UK..the lack of their survival is probably down to that when most people who bought them when surplussed looked on them as a handy small truck..they didnt know what they had..or how rare they were. -- Last edit: 2008-03-11 23:09:37 (antp) |

2491tj | GMC was not an option in this 4x4 body style..also note the lack of an impressed "GMC"badge at the top of the grille,just below the bonnet lip. |

| 1965 Lincoln Continental Executive Limousine Lehmann-Peterson Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) |
drujon | I'd say it's a Lehmann-Peterson Conversion | 2008-03-11 16:19 | |
| 1965 Lincoln Continental Executive Limousine Lehmann-Peterson Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) |
DynaMike  | 1965. I've no idea who made the stretched conversion. | 2008-03-11 16:15 | |
| Dodge WC Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) |
2491tj | id say M3 halftrack..if i remember right, the M3 scout car didnt have a winch..just a roller (i may be wrong). | 2008-03-11 14:26 | |
| AMC M422-A1 'Mighty Mite' Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) |
4x4peru | Correct on the Mighty Mite. The third vehicle is a Dodge WC52. | 2008-03-11 03:54 | |
| Jeep CJ-5 Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) |
4x4peru | The MB, M38 and CJ3 all had "flat hoods". This is the later curved hood version of the M38A1 & CJ5 (& CJ6, CJ7, CJ8 as far as looks). Appears to be a CJ5 painted green based on one piece windshield, and parking lights. Hard to see other features. | 2008-03-11 03:53 | |
| Dodge WC Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) |
4x4peru | Yes on the 1/2 ton Dodge WC Ambulance. The other vehicle roof line looks more like an M3 Scout Car than a 1/2 track. Is there a pic showing tracks? |

| Dodge WC Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) |
2491tj | the ambulance is the Dodge T211-WC18 of 1941/42..later phased out by the WC54. | 2008-03-11 03:24 | |
| AMC M422-A1 'Mighty Mite' Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) |
2491tj | the second vehicle?..its an M422A1 AMC Mighty Mite 4x4 quarter ton truck, an extremely rare vehicle built for use exclusively by the US Marine Corps. Production only ran to 3,922 vehicles from 1960-1962. |

| 1971 Chrysler New Yorker Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) |
CougarTim | I think this is actually a 1971 Chrysler New Yorker (because of the square headlight surrounds and thicker chrome strip at the bottom of the grille, among other things). | 2008-03-11 03:10 | |
| Jeep CJ-5 Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) |
Pokeoddsponge | Not a Willys MB, but a later either Willys M38 or the civilian CJ3 version. -- Last edit: 2008-03-11 03:08:00 |

| 1971 Plymouth Satellite Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) |
CougarTim | Looks to be a brand-new 1971 model. | 2008-03-11 03:07 | |
| Dodge WC Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) |
Pokeoddsponge | isnt it a Dodge WC54? and the M3 halftrack doesnt have its own listing and it should |
