The M1 Combat Car was a light tank used by the U.S. Cavalry in the late 1930s. After the Spanish Civil War most armies including the U.S. Army realized that they needed gun armed tanks and not vehicles armed merely with machine guns and so the M1 became obsolete. The M1 was the immediate predecessor of the M2 Light Tank.
