John Wayne's customized 1966
International Travel-All "War Wagon" was on display with
the Riverside Casino's vintage auto collection in 2002. The
Duke had the roof raised six inches and a hatch added so that he
could hunt antelope at his Red Eye Ranch while standing through the
roof. Other alterations included a 5 speed transmission, heavy
duty shock absorbers with additional leaves in the springs, heavy
duty bumper, winch, and air conditioning. The vehicle was so
well suited for him that he had it shipped to Africa for use on his
hunting safaris. 6-02. |
John Wayne owned a number of ranches in Arizona, including
the "Red Eye Ranch" operated by his Red River Land Company, in
Stanfield.
