In 1960 the First International Harvester “Scout” rolled off the production line in Fort Wayne, Indiana. From 1960 to 1980 hundreds of thousands of vehicles designated as Scout‘s rolled out of Indiana and were sold all over the globe.

SUV craze, and American’s fell in love with utility vehicles that could not only get the groceries but could also climb a volcano.
