Our 1912 International Harvester High Wheeler contains a gas powered 196 cu. in. 2-cylinder engine that produces 20 horsepower. The transmission is a manual 2 speed which is chain driven. While stationary the transmission shifts well between gears.
Though actually a truck, the removable rear seats converted this pickup into a family vehicle when necessary. Included were brass headlamps which burned acetylene gas and the brass carriage lanterns were kerosene fueled. Base price for the vehicle when it was new was around $950 – equivalent to about $33,000 today which is also the average value of this vehicle when purchased in the modern day.
1912 was the first year that the High Wheeler introduced a water-cooled engine with a radiator fan rather than using an air-cooled system. As typical of the time, the brakes are mechanical rather than hydraulic and the charging system is powered by a magneto. The parking brake was operable, and the brake pedal had pressure when it was last reviewed.
Other than the acrylic front windscreen and muffler - which are suspected to not be original to the vehicle - no other major components are missing or altered. There appears to be no evidence of major paint or dent repairs either. It’s estimated that around 500 Auto Wagons were produced from 1907-1915.
