5 models ### Polish Armored Car wz.28

**Description:**
In the mid-1920s, the Polish Military was still equipped with outdated armored cars from World War I, owning only 43 units of various makes and types, some of which were war trophies (such as Austin and Garford). Some had been armored domestically (like the Ford FT-B), and a small number of Peugeot armored cars were purchased from France. Facing the need for modernization, in 1924, a technical commission purchased over 135 Citroën-Kegresse B2 10CV chassis from France. It was decided that some of these would receive truck bodies while 90 would be converted into armored cars of domestic design. The armored body developed in Poland was similar to the contemporary French half-track armored car designs. These vehicles were assembled at the Central Automotive Workshops (CWS) in Warsaw, with armor plates supplied by the Baildon Steel Works in Katowice. The first two prototypes were built in 1925, and the first series of vehicles was delivered to the military in 1927. These new vehicles were adopted by the Polish Army in 1928 as the armored car model 28 (wz. 28). By 1930, all ordered vehicles had been built.
