  • California really only has one tank museum within it's large borders, and it's Tankland. Some may call it a junkyard, but it's the only tank museum I've been to, having M4 Shermans, M60 Pattons, M5 Stuarts, and much more! Come check it out with the links below.

    Not the only tank museum in California. Patton museum is on the east side of Indio on the 10 freeway

      Ture, but if this Patton Museum is the one that I'm thinking of, it's out in the middle pf nowhere and doesn't have many tanks on display.

    Man, this channel got me into tanks and I am still building tanks even after you quit. The first time I saw nim was after I watched Fury. When I started building tanks on my channel you announced that you would be quitting tanks. It would make my day if you could do a stop motion with your tanks even if it’s 20 seconds long. You are the reason I have a passion for what I do. Looking forward to more tank videos in the future!

    The Chieftain was here. He did 2 episodes from this armor museum.
    I remember when this museum was on Slauson Ave in Commerce, next to the 710 Freeway. Back in 1978/79.
    Cool vid. Cute couple.

    I grew up in Montebello and use to always go to the parks next to this place and watched the remote control planes and across the freeway watched the remote control boats.
    But never went to this place. Now I need to Go!

    Yeah… Not to be cruel, but it pretty much looks more like a scrapyard of a Tank Museum. Can I suggest you to visit The Tank Museum in Bovington. Which is located in England of course. But I can tell you that the Tank Museum in England is great. They have the FURY Sherman and Tiger 131. The only fully operational German Tiger 1, which has also been in the movie of FURY. Just telling ya.

    Tank turrets usually have their guns turned to the rear for ease of transportation and/or storage, as it reduces the overall length of the tank. I don't know why they didn't traverse the guns back to the front when putting them on display, especially when it seems like there was plenty of room for them to do so.
