What is it

[grandpa Love]

Cold (39°) and rainy in Alabama, sitting by the wood stove, watching Perry Mason..... Spotted this "tractor". Any ideas?

Don't know what it is Kevin, but appears to have a Continental 226? engine.

Possibly a Clarktor airport Tug (with the side panels removed) and a 1960 Ford 4 door Jim

Looks like a factory tug to me.

I agree that it’s a Clarktor Tug. Google search images look identical except the missing side panels.

Don't know what the tug is, but it is nose to nose with a 1960 Ford.

I never really liked the looks of the 60 Ford. We had a 59 and a 65

Airport tug would be my guess as well. I'd bet that '60 Ford is a station wagon.

I've always thought the '60 Fords were one of their best looking models, love the tail lights/back end.

Definitely an airport tug. A friend has one with a slant six and automatic trans.

Agree, I had one for 5 years purchased from my dad. I wish (don't we all) that I had kept it. The 292 went into a different car. The Indiana rust killed it in my head, so away it went. I think it was ahead of its time in style, and never caught the attention it deserved. Jim
