U.S. M38 Wolfhound Armored Car

The M38 Wolfhound was an American six-wheeled armored-car prototype developed during the Second World War. Intended to improve reconnaissance-vehicle performance, it appeared too late to become a normal wartime production type. Its development illustrates continued interest in a better balance of mobility, armament, and protection even while existing armored cars remained in service.

Prototype development can demonstrate useful ideas without resulting in production. The end of a war and changes in procurement priorities may remove a requirement even when an experimental vehicle has completed meaningful testing.

Chevrolet developed the prototype with a low hull, a small cannon turret, and independent suspension. The project remained a limited experimental effort rather than replacing the M8 Greyhound in American reconnaissance units.
