Big Wheels keep on Turning

An auction in Auburn, Indiana should contain some Auburns and indeed Worldwide Auctioneers have several in their Main Event on September 4. But we also noticed this attractive Highwheeler made by the International Harvester Company, of agricultural fame. The company’s idea behind the production of a buggy-type automobile was that the people of the US had been used to driving these kind of buggies for years and years and they saw no reason why an automobile should look different. An argument that overtook the company several years later when they added a model with pneumatic tires. This one is a 1908 model D that has been with the same owner since the mid-1940s.
