M40 GMC – City vehicle storage area, Charleston, AR (USA)
RN 40194821 painted on the front glacis. It was removed years ago from the park on S School St and placed in the City vehicle
storage area. A local police officer had planned on restoring it, but has since retired and the M40 sits forlorn in a storage area
(“vagabond”)

M40 GMC "Alta's Ankles" – National Guard Armory, Mena, AR (USA)
RN 40194772 stamped on the front glacis. It was displayed for years up at the local lodge but was moved to the AR National Guard
Armory on Morrow St N, North of 71. A Sgt from the Armory came out and gave a little history of the vehicle. When it was delivered to
the Armory in the 1980s, it rolled off of the lowboy and crashed into a tree. The tree was taken out and the upper right rear of the M40
was slightly bent (“vagabond”)

The museum already has the M40 and has just gotten it back from the paint shop. It is currently sitting behind the museum right now
waiting for the ground to either freeze or dry out before it is moved onto its pad in Artillery Park (US Army Artillery Museum)
