The Skoda PA-III, known by its military designation of OA vz.27 was a light armored car produced by Skoda in Czechoslovakia. Fifteen units and one prototype were produced in 1927. Three units were captured by Romania in 1939 during the final breakup of Czechoslovakia and were pressed into service for guard and patrol duties, two of which were destroyed by American bombing in 1944 in Ploiesti. The newly created state, Slovakia, only had three of these vehicles as well. The rest of the armored cars were taken by Nazi Germany.
