Interesting.  The 40-8 thing reminds me of the Merci Cars  There is one in New Hampshire I have visited few years ago.

I think that's what it's from. I think it was a veterans gathering or something like that.

40-8 is from WWI.  French cars could carry 40 soldier or 8 horses.  Same type cars used in WWII.  My late grandfather told me about riding them in France.
