 Excellent history August 24, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This book has elegant presentation. A thorough, complete history of the International product line. Good archival and comptemporary photos. The restored truck samples are excellent and cleverly photographed. As a retired long time employee of International Trucks I found the information to be accurate in my areas of acquaintance with the product history. A valuable addition to my collection of company memorabilia.
 A History Lesson on an American Legend August 6, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
Congratulations and thanks to both writers and all contributors to this magnificent book. It certainly gives a very broad view of how the Company grew, expanded and then reorganised to become again a leader in the US industry. Another good point is that despite a lot of moves towards globalisationit still is an American Company and I hope it stays like that.
A few points that seem to be missimg and that I would like to add for the benefit of the readers and also writers:
1.- I did not see any mention of the former McCormick residence in Chicago, on East Ontario Street. The location is presently one of the best grills in Chicago, namely Lawry's. Going there makes you feel how IH was reigned in those days.
2.- The quality of the American Truck made it what it is today and I can proudly say that out of 755 Fleetstars purchased in 1975638 are still running with TCK - The Turkish Highways in their gleaming Omaha Orange colors as if they were brand new. No mention of such quality examples was made in the book.
3.- I might have missed it, but I did not see any mention on what the IH (Black & Red) logo was made for.It is A Farm tractor with "H" for the tyres and "I" for the farmer and the exhaust stack.
Thanks again,
K.Muenir Hamamcioglu - Istanbul/ Turkey
