1911 International Harvester Model A Truck
01
Artifact Overview
International Harvester had its roots in building reapers in the 1840s. The company made its first automobiles and light-duty trucks in 1907. Cars were dropped after 1911, but pickups remained in production through 1975. The original high-wheeler truck's tall ground clearance and rugged construction worked well on rough rural roads.
