One of the largest collections of military machines in the United States is being auctioned July 11-12 in California.
It was curated over the years by the late Jacques Littlefield, who housed the collection at his Military Vehicle Technology Foundation in Portola Valley.
After Littlefield’s death in 2009, the collection was acquired by the Collings Foundation, an educational organization whose mission is to preserve the history of military automobiles and aircraft.
Several of the vehicles will be moved to a new facility in Stow, Mass., paid for in part by the sale of the bulk of the collection.
No fewer than 114 vehicles will cross the block at the event run by Auctions America, including Stuart, Abrams and Sherman tanks, self-propelled Howitzers and a variety of armored personnel carriers from the U.S., Britain, South Africa, Australia and other countries.
