My 72 coupe is on the way!

[Ripinator]

My dad sold IH for 35 years so I grew up with a new IH demo in the drive! I wanted the 1-25 Golden Jubilee model high up on the shelf in the parts department but never succeeded but I eventually got a real one, love the front and rear styling, Those are 54 Buick tail lite lenses and reflectors that IH bought from GM!! It even has a wonder bar radio mounted on the roof! an early example of a rare luxury truck! Id love to dig through your accumulated parts and see your collection Iola Kid!!

It's here! But had no time to play with my new toy. Pulled it in the garage, and raced to work.

Still no real playtime. Rearranged things at that building, took a 10 minute ride, and put it in the carbag for the winter. But now this tractor will have to spend the winter outside under a tarp.

I did the same when i had chevy corvairs in the early 80,s. i gave a guy tons of new parts and a whole 4 barrel car with bmw seats for 150.00. I did it because he was a serious collector and wasn,t a guy with means so i gave the car a good home with a bunch of lovely parts.My favorite thing i gave him was an almost perfect condition glass re-useable windshield washer fluid bottle with factory label on it.B.B
