The Volkswagen Scout


According to the Wall Street Journal, VW is bringing back International Harvester's Scout. It's part of VW's strategy to rebuild itself in the US market, as war and Covid-19 dim sales prospects in Europe and China. You know that AL has always liked those rugged little machines. We first encountered one in the Laurentians--hat's in Québec--in...yikes, was it 1965?  We have posted a bunch of Scouts over the years. Here are 2 vintage Scouts we caught in Colorado Springs and a Scout II in Portland, Maine. For more , try our search widget.
