   I used to run an ex-military Dodge PowerWagon (1946?) as a tow truck.   
   About 48MPH wide open downhill with a tailwind - slightly faster if   
   you dropped it over a cliff

   One of the fastest WW2 military vehicles was a tank, the M18 Hellcat tank   
   destroyer with light thin armor. A nearby museum owns one that they have   
   taken out in MA traffic where it's one of the few vehicles that gets   
   complete respect.   
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M18_Hellcat   
   "The Hellcat was the most effective U.S. tank destroyer of World War II. It   
   had a higher kill-to-loss ratio than any other tank or tank destroyer   
   fielded by U.S. forces in World War II."   
      
   In Germany I occasionally encountered tanks on the roads. Once I veered into   
   the woods to avoid a British convoy. I've helped push an antique cannon down   
   a winding back road. The expression on drivers who suddenly found themselves   
   staring into its muzzle was priceless.
