Clone, the owner said only 6 HEMI 4 speed convertible Challenger R/T were produced that year, not sure how accurate that is. Regardless, it was nicely done and a great color combination…

I figured but wasn’t sure, it looks so much like a real one.

The white Farmalls were dealer demonstrators. They where painted white at the factory and doled out to dealers. Once they were sold, they were to be painted Farmall red by the dealer. This obscure fact was related to me by the guy who did the body and paint work on my '64 Polara. His primary work is tractor restorations, but he does a few cars also. He is currently working on one of these in his shop. This tractor was rumoured to be a factory demonstrator, but was red. He said they removed the build/info plate and it was white underneath. He restored it to the white version, as it had been originally built. Little known tractor trivia.

Like this….


John Deere did it with their Custom Color “Patio” garden tractors too, the tractors were painted blue orange red or yellow for the ladies but it was a flop so they painted some green and yellow to sell em.

Here's a 'Deere that my paint guy restored. I think it is a 1938.
