Van used by rock icons Aerosmith in ’70s found in the woods

CHESTERFIELD, Mass. — Long before Aerosmith filled stadiums with tens of thousands of fans, the band travelled New England in a tiny van playing to smaller crowds.

That dilapidated van has been found in the woods of a small Massachusetts town.

Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz, hosts of the History Channel show “American Pickers,” located the van in Chesterfield, a town of about 1,200 residents 100 miles west of Boston.

The property owner said the 1964 International Harvester Metro van was there when he bought the land from someone with a connection to Aerosmith.
