Link to the auction site. If you have a spare 50k or so, will make a good Christmas gift!

“Two vehicles sure to attract serious attention from collectors are an American GMC DUKW and British Humber Hexonaut GS, amphibious trucks used to transport Allied troops and supplies over land and water during the war. The Hexonaut GS is the only one of its kind known to exist. Vintage 1940s motorcycles are also on the docket, including a 1942 Harley-Davidson UA with sidecar and a 1941 Indian 841 with saddle bags.

WWII German halftrack armored personal carriers, such as the Hanomag Ausf. C and the Hanomag Sd. Kfz. 11, are also scheduled to cross the auction block alongside more than 100 pieces of war memorabilia including a German 8.8 cm Flak 36 gun and an American white M16, also known as the “Meat Chopper.”

Way back when there was a 1/2 track for sale in a used car lot in Inglewood, California. It had rubber on the tracks. It seemed to be in decent shape but I don’t recall the asking price.

The Boston “Duck” Tours folks will probably be in line to bid on any DUKWs there; their fleet has to be maintained, and any additions just mean more money for them.

It’s a fun tour by the way; worth it if you ever are stuck in Boston.
