As mentioned earlier, a Cadillac Gage Ranger (used by the Glendora Police as a SWAT vehicle) was on display in the Veteran's Day celebration, and here's a photo of it.
Note the Firing Ports and super-thick door. XD
It's not really a "Fighting Vehicle", per se, but rather a bullet-resistant (as opposed to bullet-PROOF) patrol vehicle --- basically just a Dodge Durango or Ford Explorer with a ballistic steel skin. They're also used by US Air Force security units, and a number of foreign militaries.
Here's more info on the Ranger, if you're interested;

Like I said, it's not a "Fighting" Vehicle --- Rangers are just light security vehicles, used more to shoo pesky civilians away from airbase perimeters, than to actually engage the enemy.
About the only thing you can count on the Ranger's armor to repel is shell splinters, shrapnel, pistol fire, and dispersed rifle fire from a distance.
Of course, even if THAT much happens, the Ranger has a radio. A minute-or-two after reporting said disturbance, a couple dozen of THESE will come rolling-in;
