RealRides of WNY - 1978 International Scout II

1978 International Scout II


Before Ford introduced its Bronco compact SUV for model year 1966, the North American market for such a vehicle was pretty much shared by the Jeep and International Harvester’s Scout. The original Scout, introduced for 1961, was updated for MY 1971 and re-named Scout II, but by then the Bronco was off and running; the Jeep line had expanded; and then there were the Chevy Blazer and GMC Jimmy, further divvying-up the market. The final year for the Scout II was 1980.


We saw this one — complete with an Alaska tag and a dealer sticker from Abell Truck, an International dealer in Pueblo, Colorado — at this year’s Toy Town Car Show.
