M5/M5A1 Production Information
Courtesy of
Joe DeMarco
Production is listed by ascending serial numbers as distributed
by Army Ordnance.
Author's Note: Some sources
credit the M5 and M5A1 Stuart tanks built by the Southern
California Division of General Motors at South Gate, CA to the
Cadillac Division of GM. This is incorrect, as the
Southern California Division of GM was its own entity within the
GM corporate family. For more information on this, visit
the Southern California Division in the General Motors section.
On that page the Southern California's War Division's "War
Production History" shows that it was a contractor to Army
Ordnance, and was not a part of or being managed by Cadillac
Division. |
