Cool!!!!!

 

Seems odd that a Olds dealer would use a Ford as their race car hauler. Looks good though...

 

That's Phillip's Oldsmobile race car hauler in then Norfolk VA! That car was driven by Ray Hauser on of their mechanics. I've known Ray for 30 years. I bought that 67 W30 from Ray in 1996! Had it at the 100th Oldsmobile Anniversary

 

It may look like a Ford at first glance, but I think its an old International. Look at the grill and the letters on the cab door.

 

It's a Ford F600 series truck

 

yep ford,not an f600 though the cab overs had a different designation.something like a c600

 

Pretty sure Ralph is right. Look closely at the grill, it says International .

 

its a ford.do search for a co1700 international.

 

Thank you. Ford with a 66 442 tail panel grill and paint work

 

Certainly a CO Ford. Not sure model or year (C600, C700, C800). International did not feature split 2-pane front windshield - Ford did.
The door styling is definitely Ford. No International had that door design.

 

 

Girl ain't bad, either.

 

Cool ! Do you still have the 67 ?

 

No. Sold it to a couple from Michigan in 1999.

 

Thanks. Hope it's still out there somewhere !

 

Taken while we were in Lansing for the 100th

 

The girl appears to be on her cell phone.

 

Pretty sure that picture pre-dates cell phones.

 

Oh really?

 

No , that thing in her hand is an old fashioned item known as a paper-backed book .

 

I believe it’s a international also different grill but same windows and doors

 

This is kinda/sorta fun

Several areas which stand out in comparison: (1) Cab Step External on IH, Internal on Ford (2) Forced Air Ventilation on Ford, Louvered on IH (3) Beveled Door {To meet forced-air ventilation) on Ford, Straight Panel Door on IH. My father was a Dispatch Supervisor for AT&T beginning in 1946 (directly after WWII) until he retired (1980). The AT&T Chicago Dispatch yards used IH almost exclusively. I'm not certain it's completely fair for me to compare the trucks since I'm not sure of the year or the exact series, and styles did change somewhat through the years (e.g. external vs. internal door hinges), but during my formative years I used to try to guess what trucks they were. I always felt the IH trucks were more like yard tractors w/ a sweeping rearward appearance while the Ford trucks had a boxy profile. I do believe though nearly all the IH trucks had external cab (cutaway) step-ups while Ford did not.

This should take nothing away from the cute girl.

 

I didn't notice the modifications at first to make it a "Olds". Looks good though. Wonder if it has a transplanted 455 in it?? Lots of torque!
