The Dodge WC series (nicknamed "Beeps") is a prolific range of light 4WD and medium 6WD military utility trucks, produced by Chrysler under the Dodge and Fargo marques during World War II. Together with the 1/4-ton jeeps produced by Willys and Ford, the Dodge 1/2-ton G-505 and 3/4-ton G-502 trucks made up nearly all of the light 4WD trucks supplied to the U.S. military in WWII – with Dodge contributing some 337,500 4WD units (over half as many as the jeep).
General Patton's Command Vehicle was specifically modified for Patton himself, there's little doubt this truck was an instrument in the Third Army's toolbox. Fit with armor plating, sirens, and horns, this WC-57 served as a motor pool car for those in the Third Army's headquarters. Equipped with four-wheel drive and a torque-rich six-cylinder engine, this WC-57 was a proverbial tank that could hold its own on Europe's war-ravaged topography. Meanwhile, the fitment of a Browning machine gun ensured the big Dodge could take out any enemies that managed to get in its way.
