M151 in the movie Stripes

Unread post by FoxMike » August 3rd, 2023, 2:04 pm

Watched the movie 'Stripes' recently and saw a few glimpses of some M151s. Not great shots, but they are definitely there in a few scenes. I've attached some clips. I did see an antenna mount on the passenger rear side that I haven't seen before. Possibly because it was an MP jeep and the antenna was for VHF high band.

One of these days I've got to get my hands on an old EM-50 Urban Assault Vehicle to restore :idea: :lol:

There was a guy right near me that had two of them but they, and him disappeared one weekend. They are getting real herd to find and even harder to find parts for. The rear suspension was very unique and basically that was the only vehicle to use that design. Front wheel drive Olds Toranado 455 CI. driveline.

Lots of pictures of them in various TV shows and movies...

I believe the EM-50 funding was reduced to meet the needs of Sgt. Bilko's tank prototype cost overrun.
