Iconic Aerosmith tour van abandoned in the 70s discovered in the woods

Aerosmith tour Van discovered - The discovery was made by Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz, the hosts of History Channel's 'American Pickers'.
UPDATED AUG 9, 2018

Before they were recognized as "America's greatest Rock and Roll band," Aerosmith was basically a five-piece band, also referred to as "the Bad Boys from Boston", trying to make a name of their own in the 1970's rock music scene. In their endeavor to make their presence felt, the original members - Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Steven Tyler, Joey Kramer, and Ray Tabano (who was later replaced by  Brad Whitford) - would spend their early days traveling New England and playing to smaller crowds. 

This was almost four decades back. While a lot has changed since then, an iconic and nostalgic piece of memory attached to the band, which has been recently discovered, is their old tour van - a 1964 International Harvester Metro, in a dilapidated condition but with the funky cartoon man and the colorful Aerosmith inscription on the side still intact.
