The Staghound armoured car had been conceived in the usa from the beginning of WW2, based on a British specification which required a wheeled reconnaissance vehicle with a top degree of protection, consequently armour plated, well armed, and highly mobile. The Chevrolet design proposed a big armoured car which, after a long programme of assessment and evaluation, went into manufacturing in belated 1942, too late become provided for British forces engaged in North Africa. Allied forces were to get the Staghound into the Spring of 1943 as well as were found in the Italian campaign by Uk and Polish armies In spite of the impressive performance of the vehicle it was not adopted by the US military so the 3,000 devices produced were utilized entirely by British and Commonwealth forces.
