1974 International Scout II Rallye

From Jonathan Welsh:
"International Scouts are my favorites among vintage sport-utilities, especially when decorated with graphics that scream "1970s." This Rallye version showed up in Montclair, N.J., but appears to have spent time on Nantucket based on the oversand vehicle permits and beach passes. Decades ago my best friend's family drove a '78 Jeep Wagoneer, its rear window edged with several years worth of oversand permits from Martha's Vineyard. He explained that those things were status symbols. Today the old truck probably generates more envy. How it must stand out on the ferry, surrounded by the latest luxury crossovers. Here's a piece I wrote a few years back about collectible SUVs. Good for a chuckle, perhaps. 

AL: here's a Scout II in Maine a while back. Another in Miami. A wedding Scout in Colorado.
