John Corklin with the 1972 International Transtar 4200 his sons had restored for Father’s Day.Talk about being good to your father!
Jeff and John Corklin of Titusville, Pennsylvania wanted to do something special for their dad, John for this past Father’s Day. So the two set out to find the 1972 International Transtar 4200 John loved and used to drive.
