'Better than a horse and buggy': 1935 International a family heirloom

The 90-year-old farm truck is owned by the original owner's grandson, who pulled it out of a barn 31 years after it was parked to restore it to its original glory, as caught here at the 2025 MATS at the ATHS booth. This year's show is slated for March 26-28 in Louisville, and registration is open.
