In the summer of 1918 the Ford Motor Company agreed to develop a 3-ton, two-man light tank for the US Army. This third tank (the other two were the M1917 6-ton and the Tank Mark VIII) to be mass-produced during 1918 was powered by two Ford Model T, 4-cylinder engines, and had a maximum speed of 8 miles per hour. Armed with a .30-caliber machine gun, it had a crew of two (driver and gunner).
The M1918 was one of the first light tank designs by the US. Light tanks were much easier to redeploy in secret from one sector to another, because they could be loaded onto trucks instead of moved by rail.
Small and cramped, the US Tank Corps felt it did not meet their requirements, and continued using the French Renault FT-17. Although 15,000 were ordered, only fifteen were built due to the ending of the war. Two survive: one is in the Patton Museum of Cavalry and Armor, Fort Knox, Kentucky, and the other is in the US Army Ordnance Museum, Aberdeen, Maryland. (Wikipedia)
