A lot of the complex is still there. Fort Wayne, Indiana.
The manufacturing (whatever is left of it after subdivision/selective demolition - I dont recognize Kahn's distinctive "H" architecture), is at 2701 Coliseum Blvd S., while the engineering building is at 2911 Meyer Road, easy walking distance directly east of the plant.
Looks like somebody (state government likely) is trying to make lemons outta lemonade. i wish them luck.
I was in undergrad business school when IH moved outta town. Near the time of Chrysler's FIRST bankruptcy (the Iacocca one) ~1981. Devasting to Fort Wayne. Not sure if they ever fully recovered -- but whatayah gonna do?
They weren't alone .. ask Flint, Lordstown, Janesville, Belvidere, Wixom, etc. ) .. with the pain to come for next 40 years in that industry.

Shreveport, LA. I could sport this one as a hobby house.
Birmingham, Alabama. Coolest architecture, but smack-dab in their downtown business area.
Great Falls, Montana. Remodeled into hobby-house oblivion, but still there.

I looked a little for this dealership and I found that the grandson of the guy that started this dealership is Bobby Wood, a funny car racer from the 60's.

Possibly now this building, but I'm not sure. A lot happens in 104 years.
