The British refer to it as the T17 Deerhound, and it was created and produced between 1941 and 1945. About 250 of these armored cars were produced as stand-ins until the M8 of the US Army became available. The Americans ultimately obtained possession of the 250 T17s, which were intended for use by the British.

Five people were needed to operate the turreted 6×6 Deerhound: a commander, loader, gunner, co-driver, and driver. The T17’s primary weapon was a 37mm Gun M6, and it shared the same turret as the M3 Lee tank. Two x.30 M1919s served as its supplementary armament.
