matters while another newcomer (below) listens,
perhaps, to the call of Old Iron.
Listening to the call of Old Iron		 The three engineers
For those of us still on dial-up this year's exposition is broken into several smaller pages for easier loading. If you would like to skip ahead, here's a rough list of what you will find on each page:

A tremendous display was provided by IHC truck enthusiasts at the 14th Annual Canadian International Truck Show, held in conjunction with the Exosition this year. One of the highlights was this 1927 International Model 54-C owned by Ron Carey of Calgary, Alberta. It is unusual in that it is chain driven (below right). Chain and gear wore quickly as they were directly exposed to the dust and mud; enclosed drive trains soon superceded the chain drive. This beautifully restored truck appeared on the cover of 'Wheels of Time,' the American Truck Historical Society's magazine, in 2003.

Here's a real eyecatcher - a 1934 IHC C-1 hot rod owned by Peter Barna of Atikokan, Ontario.
Some models were curiosities. This 1973 extended cab Wagon Master was an experimental model designed to pull a fifth wheel trailer. Definitely ahead of its time. Owned by Jim Cross of Davidson, Saskatchewan.

The 1945 K-5, left, came from nearby Calmar. It is owned by Brett Garrison.


Lawrence Vera of Edmonton brought this bright blue 1952 L110 to the show.
This beautiful 1978 Scout Terra didn't stay for Sunday, unfortunately, so I'm not sure of this information, but I believe it belonged to the Helgesens of Saskatchewan.
Here Cam Sawyer's 1954 R110 waits in line for the Parade. Is that you behind the sunglasses Cam?
The 1970 Scout below came from Lethbridge, from the collection of George Kirkham.
