far from the utilitarian work tractor, this 1948 orchard model from IH McCormick Deering is very streamlined!

for info: http://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/004/9/8/4988-mccormick-deering-o-4.html

 IH commissioned an industrial designer, Raymond Loewy, to give the new Farmall general-purpose tractors a sleek new streamlined look. Designed for small-to-medium size American farms, IH's new machines offered a wider variety of capabilities, engines, and equipment options. 

IH took care to produce a model for almost every farm and every need.  Sales took off, and letter-series production did not end until 1954. Overall, the Farmall 'letter' series, well built and affordable, became not only a defining product line in IH history, but an iconic symbol of the prototypical American small-farm tractor. Many machines (especially the two largest models, the H and M) are still in operation on farms today.

I found some familiar cars at El Mirage this past weekend, I've seen them most of the past 4 years I've been back to the May event the SCTA has at El Mirage

if you've been looking at this blog long enough to recognize these from 2012, or 2011, or 2010... you must enjoy the content I've been posting to still keep coming back!

For everyone else, these cars are there every year I've been there, and I thought that this year instead of avoiding posting the cars I've featured before, I'd just do this simple gallery to show who is still having fun at the dry lakes.
