Pic of my 1958 A100

I wanted to submit a picture of my 1958 A100. The picture was taken at last years car show.

Sweet! is that a pearl paint job?

Nice lookin truck, chipguy..

The paint is just a standard light orange that someone had painted it about 30 years ago. I wish it had been left the light yellow and gray that my line setting ticket said it was when it left the factory. If I ever repaint it will return to the IHC light yellow of that year.

Like this? This is from an article in Collectible Automobile magazine.

IIRC the owner was copying the paint scheme from an advertisement.

I never seen a paint scheme on a 58 A100 like that, grey n yellow. That is an eye catcher!! Nice truck too....

The yellow and gray is a nice combination. Here is a rather poor scan of a nice big two page ad I have showing a 58 A custom pickup in a similar paint scheme. That chrome grille and bumper are a nice option too.

my 60-B has an original colour of that yellow, Ralph, and white hood and roof,.
Not the same, but they liked and bought those lovely two tone schemes. Can't blame the late-fifties customers. Looked great,...didn't they? Manny

Ya that is a sharp lookin truck too, with the extra chrome it really looks nice.. That pic looks like a sales advertisement.. International should build new pick ups that look like the old ones, just like Ford did the Mustang, and Chevy did the Camaro !!! I would definitly buy one...

The two color paint scheme is nice and I have considered it for my B110 but thinking I might stay with the "rat rod" look. Just keep shining up the old "adirondack green" although it is getting down to the primer in spots.
