Aug 20, 2019 · Detailing the technical specifications, development, and operational history of the M38 Wolfhound Six-Wheeled Light Armored Car / Mission Support Combat Vehicle including pictures.

The M38 was a 6x6 vehicle with power-assisted steering on the front four wheels. A 2-speed transfer case effectively doubled the amount of speeds in its Hydramatic transmission.

The T28 was standardized as the Car, Armored, M38 on 7 December 1944 and was supposed to have the production vehicles completed by Ford, but at most only a few were completed before the end of WWII. Above: T28 Light Armored Car at Fort Knox, Kentucky. (Photos: US Army)

The M38 was introduced in 1950 (not 1949 as often seen), used as the primary tactical vehicle for the U.S. Army and Marine Corps in the Korean War. Mofifications made to the CJ-3A and upgrades enhance its off-road capabilities in military operations.

Remarks: The U.S. Army Cav-alry Board in May of 1944, rec-ommended that with suggested modifications the T28 Armored Car be placed in early produc-tion to replace the M8 Armored Car. This new vehicle devel-oped by GMC, was to be stan-dardized as the M38 and pro-duced by Ford. As it was, WWII ended before full production could begin.

The M38 underwent a number of modifications during its development, a notable result being the mounting of the M24 Chaffee light tank's turret to the M38's chassis, resulting in a powerful 75mm M6 L/39 armored Scout Main Gun - A huge improvement over the original 37mm weapon.
