The M56 "Scorpion" Self-Propelled Gun is an American unarmored, airmobile self-propelled tank destroyer, which was armed with a 90mm M54 gun with a simple blast shield, and an unprotected crew compartment.
Some of the M56 development was done at the GM Tech Center in Warren, and it was powered by a Michigan built Continental engine. The actual vehicle was produced in Cleveland OhioAcquisition
