1912 International Harvesters

Compare and contrast these two 1912 IHC autos as seen at the 2010 Alturas rally.  Pics of the red IHC from last year are here. Here are more items from the Alturas small car and motorcycle tour.

Check out the height of the tires.

They use the milk crate as a step stool each time they stop to get in and out of the car.

The rear seat just dropped into the pickup bed.   Lift it out to take the hogs to market, drop it back in to carry the mother in law to church.

Big wooden wheels.  Solid rubber tires.  Chain drive.  Cool pinstriping.

Lots of leaf springs to carry a heavy load.
