Despite it’s modern appearance, the first Stalwart in fact saw light of day way back in 1959. It was not, however, until 1966 that the vehicle entered service with the British Army. It’s role was that of general amphibious transport truck, many units being fitted with a hydraulic crane and raised central canvas tilt support.
I want my own…
I forgot to add some text...
The DUKW 6×6 Amphibious Utility Vehicle is typically just referred to as the “Duck” after its official name “DUKW” – a US Military code for its design: “D” means designed in 1942, “U” means utility, “K” means all-wheel drive, and “W” means dual-tandem rear axles.

I hand the crown to G0OSE, posting the predecessor to one of my favorite rally cars. Thanks everyone.
Still a bit early isnt it ?
It’s good to be the King

Actually, I kinda really want one of these.
I could play my own version of Death Race 2000…
Pretty awesome right ? it was prototype firebird III from the 1950’s
Heres a photo of it with its “doors” open
Wait a minute, where are its front lights?
Long but skinny “lightbar” along the front.
(Uhh, yeah, I’m kidding.)
I think front lights are removed by design, you only want to drive this car in broad daylight, when everybody can see it.
Ok since it was a bit early, and popular I’ll kinda continue it, with a twist. Since the winning photo was a concept car, I’d like to see photo’s of ANY concept car / motorcycle / van / lorry etc - but from any year.
BMW Titan concept motorcycle -
hard to beat the RAESR tachyon if we talking about cool concepts.
Is that thing riding on tweels?
I did a little research, and I think so.
Ford Gyron
Of all the space-age-inspired concepts to emerge from Detroit, the conception and development of the Ford Gyron from 1961 is arguably the most intriguing.
Sorry, I didn’t know there was a time limit I had to allow for entries. I will keep that in mind when I win it back with this: Dodge Tomahawk - motorcycle with Viper V10 between your legs
