Here's another thought - say you do get your hands on a few 50+ year old armoured vehicles and do manage to get them running again.
Where is the average township/tin pot dictator/etc going to get the heavy weaponry to put in it? At best they're likely to have little mroe than a few assault rifles to stiffen the hunting rifles, shotguns and pistols arming much of their force.
How many police departments have a .50 call machinegun, 20mm autocanon or even 60mm mortar in their armoury? How many survivalist groups would have gotten away with acquiring anything heavy, or if they did, sufficient ammunition to train with, let alone conduct any sort of operation?
To my mind, APCs whether ex military or jerrybuilt will be far more useful than an old tank.
