The Tri-State Military Vehicle Society was organized in 2011 for people who collect, restore, and drive historic military vehicles - all vintages from WWII to present day. Towns, groups, car, and movie companies looking for military vehicles for parades, movie shoots, holidays and specialty events need to look no further. TriStateMV can provide historic military vehicles for these events. Because of the limited number of vehicles available geographically, some groups and towns get vehicles for their function every year while others are totally left out. This is where TristateMV can help. We use a tremendous network to locate vehicles within your area to minimize travel expenses and provide the restored vehicles you are requesting.
It is the goal of the TriStateMV to share its vehicles whenever possible and hopefully meet the needs of every group or organization. Our objective is to increase our database and provide vehicles who wants and needs them. TriStateMV will grow as new vehicles become available.
The public reaction having vintage military vehicles attending your event is nothing short of spectacular. Many vehicle owners are veterans and wear the uniform appropriate to their vehicle. The response is tremendous as they display and explain the details of their vehicles have crowds cheering, waving flags, and shouting thanks. It provides a strong feeling of patriotism, well-being, and makes people proud to be American. It also helps them to realize that freedom does have a cost and appreciate what soldiers past and present have done and are doing for our country.
Some even imagine who actually drove these vehicles 20, 40, or 60 years ago. Did that jeep transport their grandfather to the front line? Did that cargo truck provide food and supplies to their father when he was overseas? Imagine the possibilities! Many vehicles have a documented history and we invite you to talk with the owners about when, where, how, and who the vehicle served. Just consider it a living history lesson that you can touch and feel.
