| The M29 Weasel was a World War II tracked vehicle, built by Studebaker, designed specifically for operation in snow. When AutoWeek magazine tested a Weasel in 2006, they noted that it was immediately recognizable as a military vehicle, due to the compartment above the engine and transmission designed to hold TNT and a detonator for self-destruct purposes. The first 2103 had 15-inch tracks, later version had 20-inch. The M29C 'Water Weasel' was the amphibious version. This had buoyancy cells in the bow and stern as well as twin rudders. |
