1910 International Harvester Model G Roadster

01

Artifact Overview

International Harvester had its roots in building reapers in the 1840s. The company capitalized on its manufacturing experience, and its farmer customers' particular needs, when it introduced a two-cylinder high-wheeler automobile in 1907. The rugged vehicle was well suited to poor rural roads. Four-cylinder models joined the lineup in 1910. Some, like this Model G, were equipped with air-cooled engines.
