Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles found on the streets of the City That Rust Sorta Ignored: Denver, Colorado. We've seen quite a few Scouts in Alameda, but this one's older than all of them.

It's pretty tough for a non-farm-equipment-expert such as myself to pin down the exact model year of a Scout, especially with all the junkyard parts swappage that takes place with these things, but I'm going to say that the grille and lack of side marker lights mark this as a '67.

Murilee, do you ever talk to the owners of these DOTS vehicles? There gotta be some great stories to go with them. I also wonder if anyone's come forward to claim a DOTS as their own.
The patina on this is perfect. It looks like it was stamped in copper and aged next to the sea. The badging is also spot on as well. I do want it.
