There is a group of tanks at The Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum in Everett Washington that are restored to better than new condition. One can tell the difference between rapid wartime production and white glove museum restorations. The tanks in this museum are all drivable. In fact they regularly take them outside and put on "Tank Festivals".
This little tank was well liked by its operators in WW2. It was very reliable and easy to drive. For power it used dual Cadillac flathead V-8 motors. Each motor had its own automatic transmission and they joined power at a transfer case in the front. The tank had a crew of two and it could be driven from either seat.
This particular one can be seen driving around on KZbin channel Fight To Fly Photography of Jason Fortenbacher. He shot the action footage at the end of this movie.
