The
Oshkosh Motor Truck Manufacturing Company was formed,
initially as the Wisconsin Duplex Auto Co. of Clintonville,
by Besserdich and Mosling in 1913.
It was renamed Oshkosh when it moved
to the town of that name in 1917 [Bal87].
Besserdich had earlier been one
of the founders of another 4x4 firm -
FWD.
Here's what you get in the Oshkosh factory car park today -
a fleet of M1070 Heavy Equipment Transporters.

These monsters have 500hp diesels, 5 speed automatic gearboxes,
two speed transfer cases, and eight wheel drive.
They are used to haul Abrams tanks around.

Holden Astra Convertible Turbo(Highly recommended sports car), from $49,990
This European convertible is a stunning car in so many ways. It's a great drive (with high performance 147kw Turbo). It's practical and apart from a small boot has abundant room for 4 or 5 at a pinch. It's loaded with standard features: air, power windows / steer, cruise, 6 speaker CD, ABS, traction control, airbags & more. It also looks great! My Managing Director's lovely wife owns one of these & I have no hesitation in recommending this car to you. A true bargain for a high performance Euro Convertible.
