Last Scout II Tribute

[Chris@ScoutMotors]

On this day in 1980, the last production Scout II rolled off the assembly line in Fort Wayne, but that wasn't the end. Scouts always come back to lead the way, and this Scout is no different.

We recently had the fortune to film and photograph the last Scout II in the studio, generously loaned from one of our community members, @Mike Bolton.

Having the opportunity, this early, to document the history of our brand has been a blessing for gaining a deeper understanding on how we can carry the spirit of the classics forward.

The last of a generation, an icon, inspiring the next generation of Scout vehicles, and the future of automotive and lifestyle.

Huge thanks to Mike for letting examine and document this beauty to share with the world!

Love your photo shoot but what a statement the vintage photo makes seeing no other Scouts beyond. The end of a great era.
Looking forward to the next chapter-Leading the way in highly capable electric SUV’s

Dad, a dealer in Rohnert Park, CA, snagged a black 1980 Scout II with a diesel engine, as I recall it. Pretty sweet. Can' t wait for the EV versions.

End of a great era, but coming full circle to inspire the beginning of the next era of automotive.

Looking at it in a broad sense, it's a bit poetic... the classic Scout, which marked the beginning of the SUV, and a new era of automotive, back at it inspiring the next era of automotive, which will once again be led by the Scout, with the new generation of Scout vehicles.
