King Armored Car

The King Armored Car was manufactured by the Armored Motor Car Company (AMC). It was the first American armored vehicle ever produced. The car had one Lewis Machine Gun (M1895 Colt-Browning on earlier models) mounted in an armored turret to protect the gunner from small arms fire. The car was powered by a V8 Engine allowing it to reach a top speed of 40 Miles per hour.

The King Armored Car was first used to repulse Confederate Cavalry raids into Kanas during the opening weeks of the Great War. Later, some of the cars were used on the front line, but the shell torn battle ground made it extreamly difficult to be truly effective, and they were all but withdrawn by 1916.
