1966 Nissan Patrol

Like the Land Rover Series and the Land Cruiser, the Nissan Patrol was a go-anywhere utilitarian off-roader. The second-gen Patrol was produced relatively unchanged for 21 years, though it was only available for 7 in the U.S. This Patrol appears to be complete, stock, and in restorable condition. It's parked in a small town on the Oregon coast, not Seattle.

1974 Land Rover Series III

The classic Land Rover Series was produced relatively unchanged from 1948-1985. The Series III was introduced in 1971, but was almost exactly the same as the IIA. Like late IIAs, the Series III had headlights on the fenders, and the classic curved sides. Land Rovers were and are extremely capable off road, and very utilitarian. Very utilitarian. Look at those door handles, and all the little hooks and other things. Then remember this is from the mid seventies.

1980 International Scout II

The Scout first appeared in 1960, six years before the Ford Bronco and 7 before the Chevy K/5 Blazer. By the late sixties, these three were big competitors in the SUV market. The Scout II came in 1971, and updated it to better compete with the larger and more comfortable Blazer. It remained basically unchanged until 1980, the last year for Scouts. This Scout has the one year only rectangular headlights, and is slightly customized for off roading.
