Ran across this old headline surfing today: http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1990-08-01/business/9003040603_1_ford-new-holland-farm- equipment-fiat-group

I've read much about the sale of IH to Tennaco/Case to create CaseIH and much about the good, bad, what could-of, should-of, etc., regarding the deal.
