Somua-Gendron Automitrailleuse 39 armored car prototype
Manufactured by Somua in France c.1939.
APX 5 turret containing a Hotchkiss Mle1934 25mm anti-tank main gun and a MAC Reibel Mle1931 coaxial gas-operated machine gun.
75HP - 4840cc - 6150kg - 15mm armor - 69km/h - four wheels plus two for cross-country driving.
The AMR 39 was envisioned to bolster the numbers of the Renault AMR 35 tankette and the very efficient Panhard AMD 35 4x4 armored car, the later of which being very similar in specs. A stopgap measure developed during the wait for the extremely innovative Panhard AM 40, it would unfortunately share its fate, with only a prototype of the production model being built before the lack of available turrets stopped the project, leaving only a few chassis in French arsenals.

I think this would make a great post apocalyptic daily driver.

I suppose a tread pattern like that would make it more difficult to tell which direction a vehicle had driven.

True, but any NDT military tire would be the same. This is the prototype. Here is another prototype with different tires.

I suppose it also makes sense to be able to mount any tire on any wheel without having to worry about rotation direction.

Well in my military experience everything is NDT, my 1952 Army truck should be but those tires are not very safe on the road, they were designed to just go in the dirt and last a long time. My spare is an NDT since it sits up by the cab and looks legit up there.
