All:
Take a close look at the picture of the truck. It appears to be either
a 1-1/2 ton or a 2-ton. Whaddaya think?

I see that my original attachment didn't work, so I'll try this. The
article was posted on the Miami Herald's website on July 27.

Wayne,
I have attached an article that was in the Miami Herald at the time the
Cubans were making their attempt. It contains a lot more information
than I have seen or heard elsewhere.
It is an interesting story, but I think that there needs a better
ending. Perhaps the Cubans will make another attempt with the Ford. Or
better yet, someone salvages the Chev truck and sends it back so that
they can try again. This time, a flotilla of boats will surround the
floating truck, the Coast Guard can't get close and the truck will reach
shore to a mass of Oletruckers in their t-shirts welcoming them to the
US.
How 'bout that!
Bob

The adventure with the Cuban amphibious AD has generated a lot of
interest in the world--or so it appears. I have received correspondence
from a producer at Pixworks LTD (the movie makers) and they're wanting
to possible do a movie about it. Their first process is to get a decent
size replica of an AD truck to make look like the actual one so they can
promote the possibility of a movie to financial backers. Wanting a model
somewhere in the 12-15 inch range in length-plastic not a diecast model,
damn they get picky huh... Anyone have any idea where models exist of
this size?? I also got contacted by a Miami Herald reporter doing a
story on the same thing, he asked a few questions and I answered 'em via
email, may or may
not make it to print but hey....... --wayne
