Description:
55 pounds of sixties technology, is (IMHO) the best looking Executive emerged from the IBM design headquarters. Not an antique as the is, nor a sharp edge as the Executive Model D was... just a beautiful mix of "state of the art" and smoothness.
Arrived home undamaged from Rosario city (two hundred miles from Buenos Aires) in the middle of a rigid quarantine.
This IBM Executive uses the one use plastic ribbon that gives clear, crisp prints, in addition to its "proportional space".
I already know it runs in 220 volts (not american 100 v), so I just need the adequate electrical connector to add the typeface specimen sample to this page. Perhaps I will do it this weekend.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the IBM Model C Executive on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the IBM Serial Number page and the IBM Model C Executive By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
