Apparently the Littlefield collection in California is getting a large amount of its vehicles auctioned off and the rest are getting sent to Massachusetts .

The auctions are being held here, at least some of them? (http://www.auctionsamerica.com/events/all-lots.cfm?order=runorder&noreserve=&Day=&category=&year=Year+or+Lot+Number&make=&model=Model&SaleCode=LC14)

One of them (The Conqueror) was actually the subject of one of Wargaming's Inside the Chieftain Hatch video sets. Here. (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEAEU2gs2Nz_JpMoZi-Wud10sV1LJc4N9)

So who wants to amass a couple hundred thousand USD to buy a tank? :O:

A bit of a sidebar maybe, but when I lived in Maryland I went to Aberdeen Proving Grounds on several occasions where they had an extensive WWI up through Vietnam armored vehicles including an ENORMOUS railroad gun (Anzio Anne) and a huge truck based one made to fire atomic artillery shells!

They also had an extensive collection of firearms, AA guns, etc.

EDIT: Looks like it's moving to Fort Lee, VA... http://www.ordmusfound.org/
