A new aquisition

[Rick Franklin]

Thank you very much to Noah Dorsey for allowing me to be the new caretaker of the 1965 Springfield International Ambulance. Cant wait for the transport truck to pick it up and deliver it

[Rick Franklin]

[NJ Dorsey]

Hope you have as much fun with it as I have! Thanks, Rick!

 

[Richard Vyse]

Congrats Rick, awesome rig.

 

[Bob Dyke]

Always have a spot in my heart for these old IH trucks. Never much for flash or fancy but they were always rock solid

 

[Tim Prieur]

Very sharp Rick. Congrats to you and Noah for putting this together. Wishing you many miles with a big smile on.

 

[Philip Scanio]

Congratulations, Rick. I am a BINDER man since 1969. Put an oil pan under it and enjoy!

I had a 1959 IH Travelall, regular configuration, not an ambulance from about 1985-1995. I thought it was the coolest vehicle, plenty of room for the kids, sit high up, 6 cylinder stick no OD. Bought it from the original owner who had taken very good care of it, towing an Airstream no less.

But it was the Rodney Dangerfield of collector vehicles, didn't get any respect when I went to cruise nights or shows with it.
Sold it to a gentlemen who was originally from Greece, specifically wanted that vehicle to use in his catering business, he remembered from his youth how tough Internationals were in his native Greece.

Jeff, it is still that way. Some people will ask me what my Travelall is and I answer International--then they ask no, what kind of car is that!

 

[Rick Franklin]

Im just waiting for the Ghostbuster comparison

Jeff, it is still that way. Some people will ask me what my Travelall is and I answer International--then they ask no, what kind of car is that!

I can relate, Try explaining a thing.

"What IS that thing?"

About as strange as this :.....

 

[John ED Renstrom]

Made a peteza run in that rig. As i waited for Noa to get back in got asked the standard question "was that a ambulance". My reply was, some of us still think it is.

 

[Rick Franklin]

Scheduled to be picked up on Thursday. Should have it Thurs night or Friday Morning

[Paul Steinberg]

Congratulations Rick. As its latest steward of maintaining this wonderful example of the International ambulances of the past, I am certain that you will make us all proud of this car and its preservation far into the future. Noah couldn't have placed it in better hands.
