Apart from the very early stuff with two cylinders (1907-1910), I believe the only car like vehicle IHC made was a station wagon and later the Scout. The station wagon was built on the light pickup frame. It eventually acquired the name of Travelall.

For several years after 1910, IHC tried their hand building conventional roadsters and touring cars. Apparently the project failed as less than 2000 of these were produced.

If you are anywhere near Hershey, PA, this is the week to see some examples of early IH automotive design. If you chat with the owners, I'll bet they will give you some leads on where to acquire a finished vehicle or a basket case.

You should look at "150 Years of International Harvester" by H. Wendel. There are about 50 photos of road vehicles dating before 1930. Each photo has a lengthy and descriptive caption. Numerous venders at Hershey will have the book or you can order it from Amazon, etc.
