Anyone near Chatillon in Belgium?

An interesting article here about cars left behind by USA Servicemen over the years:

That article is poorly written. Nearly all of those cars are post war. Mostly British and Euro makes. None of the WWII USA servicemen in the regular ranks brought their cars with them. Chatillon is in the very south-west corner of Belgium , about 8 miles from Luxembourg. I was about 55 miles west of there in Trier, Germany in July 2000.

Good point Ken. Servicemen could not bring a car that was not built yet...But a nice place to take a walk tough...Michel
