I was thinking about dear old dad recently, always the trend setter... well not really, LoL. Was a down to Earth practical guy. So what better vehicle to haul a wife and five children around in in the late 1960's / early 70's?
1966 International Travelall. I don't recall it being equipped with air conditioning, but it was white, so that helped. My sister referred to it was the White Elephant. I seem to remember that it had a 345 cu inch V8, some variation of the GM small block because International Harvester didn't make gasoline engines, I don't think. Ours was 2WD. Dad's friend had a 1970 or so International Scout 4WD, that was their main hunting vehicle. Ours was dad's go to work vehicle and also our family hauler. He also drove it to the gun club where he shot trap and skeet competitively on some weekends.
Here's a stock photo, not our family's just an example:
edit: I can't get the stock photo to work
