Friday Feature: International Scout Making a Come Back

by | Apr 4, 2025 | Ag History, Ag in the News, Farm Equipment, Feature Video, General Agriculture

This week’s featured video was published by CBS Saturday Morning to share the story of the International Harvester Scout and the comeback planned for 2027.  The last Scout came off the assembly-line in 1980.  Since it was no longer in production, the Scout became a nostalgic vehicle coveted by car and off-road vehicle collectors.  In the video you hear the story of a West Virginia Farmer who passed down his 1979 Scout II to his son, who many years later restored it and gave it back to his dad.  The Scout brand was purchased by Volkswagen with plans to start production in South Carolina of the Scout SUVs and Pickups as all electric, off-road EVs in 2027.  Watch the video for a glimpse into the past of an American classic vehicle, as well as the future plans to bring it back to market again.
