Humvees from Desert Storm, conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, along with troop carriers, and armored cars from 70 years of American machinery in combat will also be on display.  These historic vehicles will be judged by an AMVCC panel for originality, military significance, and quality of restoration with awards presented Saturday afternoon.
