International

US, 1961 to date

International Harvester Co, Chicago, Ill., 

In the early years of the 20th century, IHC was active with cars and trucks. But after 1911 no more private International car were made by International until 1961. Then the four-wheel-drive International car ‘Scout’ cross-country vehicle was introduced, now available with a wide range of open or closed bodywork. This International car was supplemented by the International Travellar, a 2- or 4-wheel-drive station wagon offered with 6-cylinder or V8 ohv engine, though a 3.212cc four was standard on Scouts until 1972. For 1973 the basic engine was a 4.2-litre push-rod six; alternatives were V8s of 5-, 5.7- and 6.4-litres. Other options on the International car include 3-, 4-, and 5-speed manual gearboxes, or automatic transmission. A new model was the International Wagonmaster, a double cabin pick-up intended for fifth-wheel caravan towing.
