An oil change was performed in February 2022. Service performed under current ownership reportedly included an overhaul of the rotating turret and bodywork along with a service of the electrical and cooling systems. Features include 3″ armor plating, externally mounted pioneer tools, a demilitarized 75mm main gun, and a replica roof-mounted machine gun. The welded hull is finished in olive drab with reproduction US Army markings, and power comes from a replacement 18-liter Ford GAA V8 paired with a five-speed manual transmission. It was imported to the US in 2016 and was donated to the Museum of the American G.I. It is said to have been recovered from the British Army’s Salisbury Plain gunnery range and spent time in Northern Ireland before it was refurbished and displayed at the Normandy Tank Museum in Catz, France.
This 1943 Sherman tank is one of 7,499 M4A4 variants produced by Chrysler’s Detroit Tank Arsenal between July 1942 and November 1943.
