Collection of heritage trucks set to excite at ITTES
Posted on Monday 6th, February 2012.Show goers may be forgiven for thinking they’ve taken a step back in time
when they visit the 2012 ITTES. An immaculate collection of heritage
vehicles will make their way to the Showgrounds to take part in the
event and provide a glimpse of Australia’s trucking history.
A special collection of trucks from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s will be
showcased during the 2012 ITTES.
Among these trucks will be a 1966 International R190. This model first rose
to fame during the 1950s and was once one of the most common trucks seen
running along the highways of Australia. The model being displayed was once
part of the Linfox fleet and still proudly wears its yellow and red livery.
A unique and very rare red 1952 International L205 is also likely to
generate interest. Although this truck played an important part in
America’s trucking history, it was never actually released into the
Australian market.
However the veteran of the collection will be a 1940 International KS 5.
This ‘Ol Sweetheart’ was used by A. Jack Turner in Victoria’s Notting Hill
area.
Do not miss this unique display at this year’s show.
