"Help identifying armored car" Topic

Gents.

Can anyone tell me what kind of armored car is seen in this photo?

Bonus points if you can tell me anyone who makes it in 28mm.

Thanks!

Its a Jeffery Quad, possibly part of the 8th Armoured Car Company.

I like the Jeffrey Quad! When I created "the Loon", a comic book character fighting Nazi's in Montreal in WW2. I gave him a black J Quad as his "Loonmobile"! Although, nobody in the story actually calls it that…

I love Jefferys!

Some trivia: Rambler became Jeffery became Nash became AMC became the Jeep-Eagle division of Chrysler.

Here's a nice big photo of the armored car in your photo:

Note that those curved structures on the front are wirecutters, not funky exhaust pipes.

I'm not aware of any 28mm model, but Anvil Mountain Models sells the McKenzie Iron & Steel line of 1/48 trucks for model railroads, including several versions of the Jeffery/Nash Quad: link

They aren't cheap, though, and you'd still have to scratchbuild the body (not too difficult with all of those flat panels).

Here's an inexpensive 1/35 card model that you could scan to fit your 28mms and either make in paper or sheet plastic: link

And an excellent construction article by the designer of the card model: link

Reviresco makes a Jeffery Nash Quad in 1/72 scale white metal:
