Listing trucks and buses made by IHC, International Harvester, or Navistar appears to be confused and inconsistent.
International, International Harvester or International Navistar are used, often for the same models. Is there some way we can agree a standard method of determining how a model or model-year of vehicle should be named? The process which sometimes seems to be used is how often Google searches results in either 'International' or 'International Harvester' for the model concerned. This is one area where I think the internet is not helpful as the terms seem to be used interchangeably and at random.
If I were to make a proposal it would be that all road vehicles made before or model years up to 1985 should be 'International Harvester'. From 1986 onwards they would be 'International'. Navistar would not be used much in the same way that General Motors is not part of the naming. I know some people may disagree
but I think some order needs to be introduced knowing the problem.
Any comments or suggestions please?
