When I was a youngster, we moved around a bit, including living in Marietta, Ohio, for a few years from approx. 1968-1972. One vivid memory I have is of seeing a tank in a parade while we were there. Later in the day, this tank came down the street I lived on, and turned into the Ashland station on the corner. Several of us kids ran down to see what was happening, as you would expect, and one of the soldiers was putting the gasoline nozzle into the tank. All of the kids were astonished that a vehicle could hold fourteen dollars worth (!) of gasoline. Of course, that was probably just enough to get back to the armory.
Do you think this would have been an M-46? Maybe M-47? It obviously was powered by a gasoline engine, so I'm thinking probably one of the early Pattons.
