1973 International Harvester 200 4x4 Pickup Truck

IH pickups are pretty common in Seattle. I hardly ever saw them in the midwest even as a kid. I guess if you can keep them out of the Rust Belt they are pretty durable. 1975 was the last year for the IH truck, and 1980 for the last Scout SUV. Too bad, as trucks and 4x4 vehicles were just starting to get a lot more popular.

1963 International Harvester Scout 80

This is the oldest Scout I've seen in Seattle. Here's one from the next generation, and another from the final series. Like an old Jeep CJ, this vehicle has 3 shift levers: One to change gears, one to shift in and out of 4-wheel drive, and one to change between high- and low-range gears.

1967 International Harvester Scout 800

There are quite a few of these in Seattle. Growing up in the midwest the few Scouts I ever saw were very rust-prone, but that's less of a problem out here.
* One of the few vehicles ever offered with choice of 4, 6, or 8-cylinder engine.
* No top - that's a bold choice in Seattle, no matter the time of year.
