'Cause a white '46 was the featured item and a heavily advertised auction. IH was struggling to build anything with the postwar material shortages and massive pent up demand- they started to build a brand new factory in Wood River Il. and had to cancel it because they couldn't get materials! They bought Louisville and converted it instead. The white color waws used in 1950 to stick the little tractors out- a topic of conversation. We know a branch house painted a A white in 1940 for a state fair- that may be where it started. IH painted the 100,000th Farmall gold in 1930, so different color tractors were nothing new- but painting several months production white from Louisville was!
