far from the utilitarian work tractor, this 1948 orchard model from IH McCormick Deering is very streamlined!

IH commissioned an industrial designer, Raymond Loewy, to give the new Farmall general-purpose tractors a sleek new streamlined look. Designed for small-to-medium size American farms, IH's new machines offered a wider variety of capabilities, engines, and equipment options.
IH took care to produce a model for almost every farm and every need. Sales took off, and letter-series production did not end until 1954. Overall, the Farmall 'letter' series, well built and affordable, became not only a defining product line in IH history, but an iconic symbol of the prototypical American small-farm tractor. Many machines (especially the two largest models, the H and M) are still in operation on farms today.

if a 1909 International Harvester could pass for Chitty Chitty, this would be the one... the Steam Punk exhibit at the San Diego Auto Museum in full effect

Thanks to the detective work of Steve (servicide blogspot) !
1957 1/2 - 1958 International Travelall.
The 1957 1/2 "A-Line" (A-100s) was totally redesigned for International's Golden Anniversary, and replaced the S-series nomenclature (the 'A' stood for Anniversary). Although the styling held over for the 1958 model year, I believe that only the '57 1/2s were considered Golden Anniversary models. Travelalls and panels had one door on the driver side, and two on the passenger side.
The basic body style held over for 1959-60 also, but with grill, trim, and headlight changes.

the movie "Real Steel" is awesome, and has a cool International Harvester COE Sightliner as Hugh Jackman's mobile home/robot hauler... it's frickin cool

I hope they make a sequel... it is a no brainer in my opinion that this story line of a young kid and his absentee dad reuniting and getting a robot to win the world championship, is the newest in a line of Rocky, The Champ, Karate Kid type feel good action movies... To let it go withough a great sequel of them continuing to be partners in the robot games, and further learning that the dad character has a lot to experience from his kids point of view .. that would be a shame
If you've already enjoyed the movie, you'll love reading this interview with Hugh http://collider.com/hugh-jackman-real-steel-interview-2/118641/ it sheds light on the characters of the kid and dad from Hugh's perspective as an actor helping out a young new actor. Great stuff. I read the whole damn thing, its that good
To learn more about the Sightliner, browse the Old IHC thread that was made when they filmed a sequence in Mid Michigan. ABC12 ran a short clip in the news September 20, 2010 3:35 pm, but don't have it available on the website... morons

Vise grips for handles.. .I like that
black an purple interior look awesome
Not many people do this type of beautiful paint on the dash.. this is really nice
A center console arm rest.... good idea!
cool eagle pieces.. they remind me of the eagles on firemen helmets
Double 1940 brake lights .. that's new
the far left gauge is a compass... I like that it's looking retro, probably isn't factory, but looks damn good
This car has gotten a lot of magazine publicity, and internet coverage this summer, and it deserves it.
These kids were just passing time in their parents car, amazing. I wouldn't have thought that anyone would let 5 kids hang out unwatched in a nice car.
