DUKW Restoration

The Orleans Parish Criminal Sheriff's Office in New Orleans recently started restoration work on a DUKW which will eventually become part of the collection of the National D-Day Museum. John Daniel has taken a few photos of the vehicle, which we present here. If anyone has any requests for specific detail shots of the vehicle, please contact him via the webmasters, and he will try to accommodate. As you can see, the vehicle has undergone a few "improvements" during its post-war service. Further details and photos will be posted as they become available.

Here's a side view of the duck. Before it came to New Orleans, it belonged to the East Baton Rouge Sheriffs office.

Here's a bow shot. Notice that the surf shield is missing.

This is the drivers compartment. Note that the original data plates are still there.
