V-100 Gage Commando Walk Around
The best-known US armored car of the post-WWII era, the Cadillac Gage Commando (a versatile, amphibious, 4x4 vehicle) still looks modern even though it made its debut in 1962. The V-100 Commando went through numerous changes in light of its extensive and varied experience in reconnaissance, convoy escort, riot control, security, and as a personnel carrier. As it proved its worth to America’s South Vietnamese allies and later to US forces in Southeast Asia, Cadillac Gage introduced one modification after another in response to evolving combat needs. Although US military use of the Commando declined after the end of the Vietnam conflict, many Commandos were rebuilt and still serve police forces and SWAT teams in Europe and the US; various armies around the world still use descendants of the combat version.
