Vehicle History

The FHCAM’s Sherman was built at Pressed Steel Car Company in Chicago. The Sherman was accepted into the U.S. Army in 1943 and most likely stayed in the United States to train new tank crews headed overseas. Early in 1945, the tank was sent to a remanufacturing facility and then released to the Dutch army as part of the Major Defense Acquisition Program.

When the tank was no longer useful, it was acquired by a collector and restorer. In 2011 and 2012, the vintage Sherman was restored to its WWII form at C&C Military Services in England. Today it wears the colors of a tank in the 7th Armored Division, 31st Tank Battalion.
