The British manufacturerd FV1119 Leyland Martian 10 ton Six Wheel Drive Recovery Truck was one of a series of highly specialised trucks developed by Leyland Motors during the late 1940's for Military use and incorporated a number of standardised components. The Recovery Vehicle was intended to be used for frontline recovery work and to complement the hard-pressed Scammell Recovery Vehicles already in service in the late 1950's. The Leylands appeared in service in the early 1960's and only a handful would seem to have survived to the mid 1990's, one of the last reportedly in Hong Kong. The truck was the first British Army Breakdown Vehicle to incorporate a pedestal mounted rotating crane as its main lifting device. The Martian also fulfilled the role of an Artillery Tractor fitted with a crewcab for 12 Gunner's, and also came as a General Service Vehicle, carrying supplies and ammunition.

Photograph shows the Quad Runners Race Cars Kiddie Ride, which was set up on Florida Avenue in Palm Harbor.
This ride is owned by Arnolds Amusements, Inc. and they call themselves: "The Finest Midway for Family Entertainment". They call this Ride, the Quad Runners Kiddie Ride.
The Cars run on a Diamond Plate Metal Surface for Traction.
I had gone to Downtown Palm Harbor that Morning to get a Haircut and was surprised to see the Carnival had been set up on several streets on several city blocks in Palm Harbor.
I normally park on the Florida Avenue very close to the Barber Shop (between 12th & 11th Streets), however I had to park two blocks away because the carnival completely occupied the street in front of the Barber Shop & for several blocks around it. Luckily, I had my Camera with me (so after my Haircut), I strolled around the area taking Photographs of the Carnival Attractions, which were still being Set-Up !

The GMC CCKW, also known as ''Jimmy'', or the G-508 by its Ordnance Supply Catalog number, was a highly successful series of Off-Road capable, 2 1⁄2-ton, 6×6 Trucks, built in large numbers to a standardized design between 1941 to 1945 for the U.S. Army, that saw heavy service, predominantly as Cargo Trucks, in both World War Two and the Korean War. The original ''Deuce and a Half'' it formed the backbone of the famed ''Red Ball Express'' that kept Allied Armies supplied as they pushed eastward after the Normandy invasion.
The CCKW came in many variants, including open or closed cab, long wheelbase (LWB) CCKW-353 and short (SWB) CCKW-352, and over a score of specialized models, but the bulk were standard, General Purpose Cargo models. A large minority were built with a front mounted winch, and one in four of the cabs had a Machine-Gun mounting ring above the Co-Driver's position.
Of the almost 2.4 million trucks that the U.S. Army bought between 1939 and December 1945, across all payload weight classes, some 812,000, or just over one third, were 2 1⁄2-ton trucks. GMC's total production of the CCKW and its variants, including the 2 1⁄2-ton, 6x6, Amphibious DUKW, and the 6x4, 5-ton (on-road) CCW-353, amounted to some 572,500 units, almost a quarter of the total World War Two U.S. truck production, and 70% of the total 2 1⁄2-ton trucks. GMC's total of ~550,000 purely 6x6 models, including the DUKW, formed the overwhelming majority of the ~675,000 six by six 2 1⁄2-ton trucks, and came in less than 100,000 shy of the almost 650,000 World War Two Jeeps. Additionally, GM built over 150,000 units of the CCKW's smaller brother, the 1 1⁄2-ton, 4x4 Chevrolet G506, at the same factory. The GMC CCKW began to be phased out, once the M35 series trucks were first deployed in the 1950's, but remained in active U.S. service until the mid-1960's. Eventually, the M35 series, originally developed by REO Motors, succeeded the CCKW as the U.S. Army's standard 2 1⁄2-ton, 6x6 Cargo Truck.
The name CCKW comes from GMC model nomenclature:-
** ''C'' - designed in 1941
** ''C'' - conventional cab
** ''K'' - all-wheel drive
** ''W'' - dual rear axles
** ''X'' experimental chassis / non-standard wheelbase (first 13,188 units)
In 1939-1940 the U.S. Army Ordnance Corps was developing 2 1⁄2 short tons load-rated 6x6 Tactical Trucks that could operate off-road in all weather. General Motors, already supplying modified commercial trucks to the Army, modified the 1939 ACKWX (built for the French Army) into the CCKW. The General Motors design was chosen by the Army and went into production at GM'S Yellow Truck and Coach Division's Pontiac, Michigan plant alongside 6x4 CCW's. Later they were also manufactured at GM's St. Louis, Missouri Chevrolet plant.
Sources do not precisely agree on the total numbers of CCKW's built by the end of production in 1945. Ware (2010) lists one single number of 562,750 of CCKW trucks, built across all variants (presumably including the amphibian DUKW) more clearly specified numbers are provided by Sunderlin in Army Motors magazine, and by Jackson, using the numbers found in the 1946 revision of the U.S. Military's Summary Report of Acceptances, Tank-Automotive Materiel. Sunderlin reports a total of 528,829 of 2 1⁄2-ton 6x6 units (excluding the DUKW) produced by GMC, versus a total of 527,168 accepted by the U.S. Army. Jackson's tabulation of the 1946 U.S. acceptances numbers adds up to 524,873 units, excluding the DUKW's and the ACKWX predecessor models. Both of these numbers still include the cab-over engine AFKWX-353 models, leaving a total of some 518,000–519,000 actual CCKW-352 and CCKW-353 units. In addition, GMC serial numbers indicate a production of 23,500 of the same bodied 6x4 CCW models, versus 23,649 units accepted by U.S. Ordnance. In any case, GM / GMC built a total of 2 1⁄2-ton, 6-wheeled trucks that was second only to the World War Two ''Jeep'' and neither Ford nor Willys individually built as many Jeeps during the war.

1952 GMC Pickup, 9300 model which is the 1/2 Ton Series Designation used for GMCs in Canada. GMC, formerly the General Motors Truck Company, or the GMC Truck & Coach Division (of General Motors Corporation), is a division of the American automobile manufacturer General Motors (GM) that primarily focuses on trucks and utility vehicles. GMC currently makes SUVs, pickup trucks, vans, and light-duty trucks, catered to a premium-based market. In the past, GMC also produced fire trucks, ambulances, heavy-duty trucks, military vehicles, motorhomes, transit buses, and medium duty trucks.
Pickup trucks are interesting vehicles. They are thought up to bring utility to the table for workers, and that’s still true today. Although they’re no longer reserved for farmers and hauling building materials today, the trend of the truck becoming the ‘every mans’ vehicle really did begin in the 1950s. Another thing that happened in the mid-1950s was every vehicle becoming a lot more stylish, and the Americana love of the automobile got stronger than ever before. Back around the mid-1950s, the pickup started to gain more style and creature comforts, attracting a larger customer base - they were no longer just dedicated workhorses.
While the United States had the GMC 3100, Canada got a nearly identical variant of the truck in the form of a 9300 GMC. This particular example is an outstanding original representative of this line of GMC trucks. And when we say original, we mean original truck.
