1/8 Purple Oliver 1850 Wide Front Tractor

Story behind the purple series Oliver tractors: 

There were just a couple tractors painted up by Oliver to take to field demonstrations. They were marketing their plows and wanted to sell them to anyone. They’re motto was “Whether your tractor is red, green, blue, orange or even purple, we have a plow to work for you.” The operator of the tractor at the demonstrations was wearing a white jockey outfit as if he was riding a race horse. The picture of the purple tractor was used in a couple pieces of advertising. I know there was a 1650 and an 1850 that were painted up. I think every large branch had one for their demonstrations.
