CHICAGO SPECIAL

IH Farmall tractors were famous for their eye-catching, bright red colour schemes, so why is this fabulous, restored Model-C white? It’s actually a factory shade, which was only applied to a very limited run of a couple of hundred tractors in early 1950 earmarked for dealer-demonstrator use. Andrew travels to Co. Cavan to meet with the owner of this rare machine, a long-time vintage vehicle enthusiast who spent many years trying to track down one of these elusive C Demonstrators. When he eventually became the owner of this one as a half-finished project, he wasted no time in rebuilding it to the stunning condition you see here.
