Would imagine that operational tanks, AFV's etc held in museums would either be acquired either by local military forces, communities, or marauders (particularly after the nuclear exchanges). In many cases I'd imagine there would be no ammunition available - in fact I think in some museum pieces their weaponry is non operational even if you have ammunition?? - but the psychological effect on your enemies if you have armour would probably make it worth while...after all, they don't know if you have ammo for the cannon or not...
As another source, I seem to recall there was a company somewhere in England in the 90's that bought some British Army surplus vehicles and set up corporate days where people got the chance to drive a tank - I think they had a Chieftain tank and an Abbot SP gun amongst others. Of course, in the Twilight War the surplus kit might be retained rather than sold, but it's just another thought...
Also, with Tigger mentioning DUKW's, I know there are a few cities around the World where you can do a tour in a WW2 era DUKW - I did the Boston one last year and I think the company had a fleet of 20 - 25 fully operational DUKW's.
