General Andino, hadn't been a real General without loving tanks. He even drove a 1938 Packard tank, received as a gift from nobody less than Franklin D. Roosevelt, if the Honduran newspaper El Heraldo is to believed. According to this and other sources, the gift was intended as expression of thanks for the Honduran participation in both world wars. The Honduran declaration of war dated 12.12.1941 and I've certain difficulties to believe, that Mr. Roosevelt was a second-hand car dealer. None of the Honduran soldiers had ever partaken in the world wars. So there is something wrong. Is it a 1938 model?
