My great grandpa had a Ford pickup with the flat head V8. It left him walking more then once. It was his first Ford and his last Ford. Maybe not the greatest choice of engines for field work but you know I love my flathead Ford V8s in cars and trucks. Now this 1958 ad shows an IH tractor for a change. Advertising Perfect Circle piston rings if by chance that 450 IH happens to need a set. 3 Quote

This one from 1958 shows most of the line up right from the pickup to the big 210 series cement truck. Notice the Drott loader filling up the AC series dump truck. Travelette parked beside the A series pickup. First year for them. 1 Quote

I don't know much about those red NH combines. I did see a few around here in the late sixties, early seventies, but they never sold like the newer TR series. Those were very popular. Here is another IH truck in an Eaton 2 speed axle ad from 1958. Also a GMC. 1 Quote

Loadstar Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Goodyear had some of the best tire ads in the 1950s. This one from 1958. I think that is a Mack truck. 1 Quote

lightninboy Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Here's an unknown tractor on IMCDb. Unusual tractor with unusual steel wheels. Probably American-made. Quote

Not sure on that one. Fordson maybe? I think everybody will recognize this popular Chevy pickup from 1970. They sold a bunch here in Sask. and a few are still on the job. Got a couple right here. 3 Quote
