The oldest surviving M3 Lee medium tank. VFW post 745, Newark DE.
The M3 was an early WW2 U.S. medium tank. Initially rolling off the production line at the Detroit Arsenal in July, 1941, the tank went on to serve in North Africa with both the Americans and the British, and it was also supplied in significant numbers to the . It was produced in two slightly different variants, the “lee“ and the “Grant,“ with the Grant being modified according to British specifications.
While the M3 Lee/Grant was soon superseded by the far superior M4 Sherman, some vehicles fought on in the Pacific and in India and Burma until the later stages of the war. (I will hopefully be visiting a surviving M3 Grant in Kohima, Nagaland, Northeast India, later this year. Watch this space!)
The vehicle in Newark Delaware is serial number 2, which was the first example produced by Chrysler, and the first to be completed at the Detroit Arsenal, even before the factory itself was fully built. (source:
