The belief is widely held that many large 1980s vehicles were stolen from Kuwaiti nationals during the 1990-91 Persian Gulf War. In connection with this topic, here is a topic I created in the past that includes photos of a 1959 Chevrolet I saw once on a base.
The pics aren't online so I don't know how to post within this thread.
