Military Vehicle Technology Foundation

Military Vehicle Technology Foundation As of July 12th, 2014 the collection in its entirety has been moved to the Collings Foundation or auctioned off. The MVTF is no longer hosting tours.

The Foundation was established in 1998 to serve the interests of authors, historians, educators,the defense industry, veteran groups, model makers, as well as the entertainment industry. We maintain an extensive technical library that describes many vehicles down to the part level. Aside from the vehicles, there are towed artillery, antitank, and antiaircraft guns. Military support equipment,inert

ordnance, and accessories round out the collection. The founder of the Foundation, Mr. Jacques Littlefield, started the collection in 1975 with the purchase of an unrestored M3A1 Scout Car. The first two tanks arrived on site in 1983. The collection comprised a total of five armored vehicles by 1988. Over time other military vehicles and associated equipment were acquired from dealers, collectors, or in trade with various museums or government agencies in the United States and abroad. By the middle of the 1990’s the collection included examples from almost all historically significant land battles of the last half-century. The oldest armored military vehicle in the collection is a World War I era M1917 light tank.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the crew their families and the rest of the foundation.
13 aboard and fatalities are being reported.
Live video from the scene show the aircraft a complete loss.

The crown jewel and most impressive piece (in my humble opinion) has left Ponytracks today. Thank you to Toadman's Tank Pictures for the snap of the Panther Ausf. A as it left the facility at 0600 this morning.
This amazing vehicle was truly a sight to behold in person and the stories that went with it of the same caliber.
Please be respectful of the comments and share with us your positive memories. The volunteers and members of the MVTF were merely caretakers and are happy that over 90 of the vehicles from the Littlefield collection have gone to such an amazing home such as the Collings Foundation. If you were not able to see it in person here in California, do make the trek to Stow, Massachusetts to view it at the Collings Foundation.
