The only good thing about "Battle of the Bulge" was watching those Chaffee's tooling around. Too bad the Chaffee didi't see a lot of service in WWII, it was one of the better medium tanks.

Cadillac engines. Our tanks may not have been as advanced as some of the German tanks, but our drive trains and mechanical systems were first rate!
I've got a vague memory that M-24's were used in Patton as American tanks in North Africa. Ironically, I think they used M-48 "Pattons" as the German tanks.
