A cousin is well known in collector circles, always showing up at shows with some rare example, including crawlers like this one. Between him and his brother they have about 200 MM's, all shedded and most operational. Several of them have been in the family from new including some very nice survivors.

I drove by their plant on University Ave many times, until it was abandoned and removed/renovated. I don't clearly remember what happened to the original building now.

White Corp was the bane of several successful companies, Westinghouse and Freightliner being 2 I remember.

The original tractor assembly plant at the corner of East Lake Street and Minnehaha Ave. just off Hwy 55 was torn down and replaced in 1975 with Minnehaha Mall, which included the first Target store in Minneapolis.
This location was the epicenter of the 2020 riots....

The claim is unrestored but Chrysler stopped using those wheels after the 1968 model year. And they were never offered in 15". 14" only.
