Line drawing of the M47. Although a new power plant corrected the mobility and reliability problems of the M26 Pershing, the subsequently renamed M46 was considered a stopgap solution that would be replaced later by the T42 medium tank.

The Pershing heavy tank (named after General Pershing) was the only heavy tank used in combat by the US armed forces during World War II. An earlier design, the Heavy Tank M6 , was not accepted for large scale production and only 40 were produced.
From April 1942 to May 1945 it produced 11,385 M4 Sherman tanks and roughly 1,190 M26 Pershing tanks from November 1944 to June 1945. With the end of World War II and the draw down in U.S. defense expenditures the plant ceased the manufacture of tanks and by 1947 Buick leased the plant as a storage facility.
