 M26 Pershing Tanks of the American Auto Industry
Built by Chrysler and Fisher Body

This page updated 8-12-2019.


This page contains photos World War Two M26 Pershings that were built by both Chrysler and Fisher Body.  Of the 75 Pershings still left in the world, only 31 have been identified by manufacturer.  Of the 45 in the United States, 20 have been identified.

Included on this page are photos of the M46 Patton.  Many original M26 Pershings were converted to M46 Pattons.  After World War Two, the engines and transmissions were replaced in many of the M26s to provide enhanced performance.  Of the 21 M46 Pattons still in existence, only five have been identified as to whether Chrysler or Fisher Body built the original M26.

This page will exhibit photos of the known M26/M46s built by both Chrysler and Fisher Body, and those that cannot be identified.

The table below provides production information on the T26EXX series of heavy tanks produced during WWII.  This information has been painstakingly researched and gathered by Joe DeMarco in his quest to quantify what was actually built by Fisher Body and Chrysler.  We thank Joe for allowing this website to use this information.

Definitions:
T26E1: 
Prototype version of what became the T26E3/M26.  The M3 90mm main gun has no muzzle brake.  All ten T26E1s under went extensive testing.
T26E2/M45: 
Assault version with a 105mm howitzer.
T26E3/M26: 
The definitive version of the series.  M3 90mm main gun with muzzle brake.
T26E5: 
Assault version with heavier armor retaining the M3 90 main gun.

T26E4:  This version was known as the "Super Pershing" because it was equipped with a high velocity T15E2 90mm cannon that used two part ammunition.  Twenty-five Fisher Body T26E3/M26s were built with no turrets.  They were then sent to Wellman Engineering, where they were equipped with special turrets that mounted the T15E2 90mm main gun.  The 25 chassis provided to Wellman are included in the Fisher Body numbers below.

 M26 Pershing Photos

Serial Number:  35

30119845

This was one of the twenty Fisher Body Grand Blanc, MI-built T26E3s that were shipped on an emergency basis to Europe before the tank had been fully tested by the US Army.  Much of the testing was done by the tankers that operated them in Europe.  These twenty tanks were what was known as the "Zebra Mission."  Serial numbers 27, 28, 35 and 39 participated in the taking of the Remagen Bridge Germany on March 7, 1945.

Serial number 35 is a rare running version of the Pershing.  With a three-sided balcony above it at the museum, I could take some overhead photos that are not normally possible.  Visiting the museum was the last stop on a seven day, 2,656 mile journey to several museums in the northeast US.  The Pershing tank was one of the main reasons for the trip.

I highly recommend visiting the museum, not only to see this Pershing, but to see all of the other first class exclusive displays the museum has pertaining to World War Two.

In the background the, US flag covers a garage door used to drive the vehicles in and out of the museum.  Other photos by other persons and the museum itself will show the Pershing on the opposite side of the museum in front of the door, or sometimes not at all if the Pershing has been driven out to attend an event.  Author's Photo.

Because this is a running tank, the museum tied a tarp underneath the Ford V-8 engine to keep oil off of the floor.  It appears a significant amount has leaked out.  This is to be expected of the tanks with the aircraft radial engines in them, as they to leak oil.  It would seem unusual for a V-8.  Maybe the engine needs to have some seals replaced.  Author's Photo.

Fisher Body Grand Blanc provided twenty-five T26E5/M26 chassis only to Wellman Engineering, which then mounted a high velocity T15E2 90mm cannon in a special turret.  This T26E4s "Super Pershing" is on display at the First Division Museum at Cantigny.  It is the only example still in existence.  Author's photo added 9-30-2015.  The T26E4 retained its designation, as it was not put into production.


The feature that gave the T26E4 its name "Super Pershing" is that it was equipped with a high velocity T15E2 90mm cannon that used two part ammunition.  Note the large counterweight welded to the rear of the turret to balance the long gun barrel.


This photo shows the long barrel of the T15E2 90mm cannon, which was five and a half feet longer than the normal M3 90mm cannon on the T26E3/M26.  An M46 Patton tank can be seen in the background.  This was the next version of the M26, with a more powerful 830 hp engine.  It is one of the many fine tanks on display outside at in the First Division Museum's tank park.


This shows another view of the large counterweight on the rear of the turret.
