This M4 Sherman Tank is Not What You Think..
National Museum of Military Vehicles
Sep 14, 2024 DUBOIS
One of the more oddball pieces in the National Museum of Military Vehicles collection is what we affectionately call “Hollywood”—an M4 Sherman tank lookalike with a surprising backstory. This isn’t your standard Sherman; it’s actually a cleverly disguised movie prop that was featured in HBO’s critically acclaimed miniseries The Pacific.
Built on top of an M3 Grant hull and powered by a Cummins engine, this tank was carefully crafted with fiberglass to mimic the appearance of the iconic M4 Sherman. Despite being a prop, “Hollywood” isn’t just for show—it actually drives surprisingly well!
