Chrysler, along with Cadillac, Fisher Body,
and Ford made tanks for the US military after World War Two.
Chrysler stayed in the business the longest by producing all of the M60
tanks built, and many of the later M1 Abrams Main Battle Tanks.
The company built over 15,000 M60 tanks of four different types.
Today there are over 1,050 M60s still left worldwide, of which 1,016 are
in the United States. It is beyond the scope of this webpage to
exhibit photographs of so many Chrysler built M60s. However, a few
special samples will be shown.
The major takeaway of this
page is that Chrysler, an American automotive company, made this
important tank for the US during the Cold War.
