M47 Patton I tank

The M47 Patton was the first US tank designed from scratch after WWII.  The tank was named after General George S. Patton and went into production April, 1951.  About 8,576 M47's were built between 1951 and 1953 and very few examples remain in the US, as many were transferred to NATO countries once the M48 became available.
