Lot's of Detroit steel in this Russian museum.

Take a look at these Detroit Army trucks. Lots of Dodges [[though I think a lot of them are not originally from Detroit as such). But there are also Buicks and T-Fords to be found there. A bit far away but maybe worth a visit?

According to this source,

Under the Lend-Lease program, the Russian Army received about [7,200 tanks,] 351,700 trucks and 78,000 Jeeps from the USA..... The vast quantities of American [made] trucks with USA serial [numbers on them], were so common in Eastern Europe in 1944/45, that common folk-lore interpreted the stenciled letters as Ubiyat Sukinsyna Adolfa - Kill that Son-of-a-bitch Adolf.

According to Chrysler Corporation, their Dodge Truck Plant [[built in 1938 on Mound Road, just north of 8 Mile Road in Warren Township) produced 403,515 military trucks during WW II. A three-quarter-ton 4X4 model accounted for 255,193 of that total.

At the Detroit Tank Arsenal [[on Van Dyke between 11 Mile and 12 Mile Roads in Warren Township), Chrysler produced a grand total of 22,235 tanks for the WW II Allied Armies. Of that total, 3,352 were M-3 tanks and 17,948 were M-4 "Sherman" tanks. More than one-quarter of the total US WW II production of 86,000 tanks were produced at the Detroit Tank Arsenal.

They never made a truck like this one.
