International Harvester, highwheeler

  • Three friends take a joyride on their “new” vehicle, Ohio, circa 1924
  • Look at the oil lamp headlights!
  • Look at the Expressions – Such emotions!
  • This vehicle is International Harvester, 1912-14 highwheeler, used both water-cooled and air-cooled engines from 1912-1914, both horizontally opposed two-cylinders measuring 196.5 cubic inches.

  • Car is possibly stopped for the photo to be taken. They just posed like they were moving.
  • I love the wooden spokes on the wheels. And the wheels are wheels, but not tires.
  • Seeing photos like this make me wonder what the next mind blowing technology will be for our century, makes me excited for tomorrow.
