1944 Cadillac M24 Chaffee A Bridge Too Far (1977)	maxman	Interesting, since the M24 didn't come into use until December 1944.	2013-02-28 03:03
Willys MB 'Jeep' A Bridge Too Far (1977)	rberent	I believe this is one of the best examples of the use of the Jeep ever on screen. Built sooo tough. I wonder if James Caan did the driving himself - if so, really impressed!	2013-01-09 12:45

1951 Chrysler M47 'Patton' A Bridge Too Far (1977)	PantherAusfG44	I have no idea to what the M47 is doing in this film. It wouldn't portray a Pershing tank, because it first fought in 1945, not 1944 (the setting of this film). -- Last edit: 2011-06-25 16:24:40	2011-05-16 08:37
ARE AMX-13 A Bridge Too Far (1977)	Gearhead	The actual Arnhem bridgewas bombed bt the R.A.F. sometime after the failure of "Market Garden" The ramps though remained intact. Only the middle was neeeded to be rebuilt. Arnhem was liberated by the First candian Army in 1945 during operation "Quick Anger"	2011-03-19 03:56
1951 Chrysler M47 'Patton' A Bridge Too Far (1977)	Gearhead	The tank in the foreground is an Achilles tank destroyer.	2011-03-19 03:46
1942 International Harvester M5 Halftrack A Bridge Too Far (1977)	Gearhead	It's supposed to be an M3 halftrack!!!!	2011-03-19 03:43
1965 Krauss-Maffei Leopard 1 as Panther Ausf. A A Bridge Too Far (1977)	Gearhead	This tank is meant to act as a Tiger 1 tank or Panzer 4 tank. Which according to the book "A Bridge Too Far" which the movie is based on, the tanks that attacked Colonel John Forst Battilon at Arnhem later on in the battle were Panzer 4 and Tiger 1 tanks. Though i will admit they did try to make this tank look like a Panzer 5 "Panther."	2011-03-19 03:42
Hotchkiss-Brandt CC-2-55 Modified for Movie A Bridge Too Far (1977)	Gearhead	That is not a tank garco, it is actually a self-proppled gun. Which is diffrent then a tank, the self-proppeled gun is like a self-proppled artillery piece. This one is supposed to be a German Wespe. This the famed battlescene between british 1st Airborne's 2nd batillion and the 9th SS Panzer's Reconicnse battilon.	2011-03-19 03:38
Daimler Scout Car 'Dingo' MkIII A Bridge Too Far (1977)	Gearhead	Also note the Bren Gun Universal Carrier.	2011-03-19 03:34
1944 Chrysler M4 A3 'Sherman' A Bridge Too Far (1977)	Pibwl	Year should be 1944.	2010-05-19 16:52
1944 Chrysler M4 A3 'Sherman' A Bridge Too Far (1977)	Pibwl	This isn't Ford M4A3 (Ford produced only early A3 with dry stowage), but most probably Chrysler M4A3 with 76 mm gun and wet stowage (Chrysler built 8 times more of this variant, than Fisher). Details of gun and turret aren't well visible, but it's not Ford anyway. -- Last edit: 2010-05-18 22:59:46	2010-05-18 22:58

Made for Movie Sd.Kfz.222 Based on Dodge chassis A Bridge Too Far (1977)	2491tj	built on a 1951 Dodge chassis, it was offered for sale in a British military vehicle magazine in November 2009, price £6,500	2009-11-26 22:45
1952 Mercedes-Benz 220 [W187.011] A Bridge Too Far (1977)	rocketron	the mercedes is infact a 220 of 1952 vintage, it was my brothers car which he had for a log time it was hastily painted grey for the film although it was deemed o.k to use at it used most of the prewar body as the earlier cars the halftrack was also his in the above picture this was sold on many years later the car suffered damaged and the interest in it was lost ,it is now scraped thanks for a great site.	2009-09-22 15:18
Made for Movie Sd.Kfz.222 Based on Dodge chassis A Bridge Too Far (1977)	Pibwl	The effect is awful anyway	2009-04-05 01:35
1965 Krauss-Maffei Leopard 1 as Panther Ausf. A A Bridge Too Far (1977)	Murf32	K, let's everyone agree - at least this movie used actual German armour. Yes, it is a little too modern for the period, and, not overly convincing in it's disguise as a WW2 AFV, but, it's alot better to see a Leopard than seeing an American AFV with balkan crosses and German paint schemes.	2009-03-08 05:43
1965 Krauss-Maffei Leopard 1 as Panther Ausf. A A Bridge Too Far (1977)	Kooshmeister	I think it's supposed to be a Panther, so I put "as Panther."	2009-01-27 14:48

Made for Movie Sd.Kfz.222 Based on Dodge chassis A Bridge Too Far (1977)	Pokeoddsponge	No this is supposed to be an Sd.Kfz.222 "Leichter Panzerspähwagen" (4 wheels), not the 6 or 8 wheel Sd.Kfz.232 "Schwerer Panzerspähwagen".	2008-12-21 21:10
(archived) A Bridge Too Far (1977)	2491tj	garco wrote Vehicles that could not be identified: ..pic 1..genuine demag halftrack....also appears in the middle of pic 2 along with some faked up Leopards meant to be Panthers, and a genuine SdKfz7 Hanomag. -- Last edit: 2008-10-23 15:16:07	2008-10-23 15:10
(archived) A Bridge Too Far (1977)	2491tj	Kooshmeister wrote I agree that the first one there is a 251 halftrack. Sonderkraftfahrzeug 251. The vehicles in the second pic, are two of the faux Panthers, the 251 halftrack and the DB-10 halftrack; all are seen later in the film i.e., the 251 is the same one Grabner rides in, because those are the Panzer Corps they keep ominously mentioning. They're seen first there, at rest, then in action during the Arnhem battle later when the Germans try to cross. The vehicles in the third pic are (I think), left to right, the made-for-movie armored car that Grabner's 251 rams out of its way, one of the Kubelwagons, and then another armored car replica. The Kubel is attempting to flee back the way they came (well, the driver is anyway), and it gets caught between the disabled armored car and the oncoming one and smushed, the poor thing. So, all of those are already listed except Grabner's 251, which I'd give 3 stars. grabners halftrack is the shorter demag halftrack..i have listed it in the german section at top of page..it isnt a 251 Hanomag...the same halftrack appears in the "under the trees" shot at top of this page, along with some leopards faked up as Panthers ..and Charlie manns SdKfz7 Hanomag half track...not a DB 10. -- Last edit: 2008-10-23 15:14:31	2008-10-23 15:08
(archived) A Bridge Too Far (1977)	Pokeoddsponge	thats looks like an sdkfz 231 6-rad "replica"	2008-05-28 01:47
(archived) A Bridge Too Far (1977)	Kooshmeister	Also, although most of the other armored cars on the bridge look more or less the same as the one already listed, at least one has six wheels instead of four: This is the one that crushes the Kubel between itself and the other armored car; it apparently gets free only to crash later because when the "Panther" appears later and rams it out of the way (as seen in the picture), it's moved further down the bridge.	2008-04-05 03:20
1942 International Harvester M5 Halftrack A Bridge Too Far (1977)	Kooshmeister	How about that smallish tracked vehicle to the left?	2008-04-05 03:18

(archived) A Bridge Too Far (1977)	PietvanHees	The group of 3 in the first message: landrover based 251 replica / same with Stu III and 12t / 250 replica's on the bridge.	2007-08-29 23:23
Made for Movie Sd.Kfz.222 Based on Dodge chassis A Bridge Too Far (1977)	PietvanHees	Exactly even most sherman's in this movie where fibreglass hulls on landrover's. This contraption seems to be an attmpt to mimmic a 250 with a turret. There was another vehicle in this scene where the commander of the first platoon trying to cross the bridge is seen burning in the flames. Same construcion als this but faguely resembling a 251 -- Last edit: 2007-08-29 23:25:41	2007-08-29 23:18
1965 Krauss-Maffei Leopard 1 as Panther Ausf. A A Bridge Too Far (1977)	Tank Anorak	I can't make up my mind whether this is meant to be a PzKwgn IV or a Panther Tank.	2007-06-19 12:32
Made for Movie Sd.Kfz.222 Based on Dodge chassis A Bridge Too Far (1977)	Tank Anorak	When I first saw this film when I was 12 I could tell that this vehicle was a plated-up Land Rover. Just look at the wheels and the shape of the front of the vehicle.	2007-06-19 12:31
