Apparently, it was designed by General Motors ( www.historyofwar.org/articles/weapons_T49_57mm_GMC.html ), and since this vehicle led to the M18 Hellcat. And because the M18 was designed by Buick (division of GM), I think we can assume the T49 was also manufactured by Buick, so I'm changing it to that

Now this AFV is called T67, and T49 on english wiki is light tank in-game (completely different tank, not this one), not tank destroyer

Apparently the T49 was a variant of the M41, with an enlarged turret and 90mm gun.

Based on that...would Cadillac be the right make for this?

They did build the M41, and this is a slightly modified version that never made it past trials, due to lack of interest.

'T49, an American experimental Tank Destroyer during World War II. A variant of the M41 light tank with enlarged turret and 90-mm gun. Trials started on May 5, 1954. The trials were a success but the tank never saw mass production due to lack of interest by the military authorities.'
