M59: It replaced the M75. It had the advantage of being amphibious, and had a mortar mounted version as well.

M113: The first all aluminium fighting vehicle. 80,000 examples were produced in many variants. It continues to serve in limited numbers today. Occasionally, it has been called the driving coffin, because of it's shape and weak armor. Nevertheless, it is a capable vehicle to this day.
