I see soooooo many people say the Bronco looks more like an old Scout. I look at both the old Broncos and Scouts and can barely tell the difference....

Wikipedia says that IH's Scout was first produced in 1961 whereas the Bronco's first year was 1966 (model years).

I think we should get our timelines straight here and give credit where credit is due and call out the copycats as appropriate.

OK, i can concede to the argument that the Scout was the first of that design. I guess I just wonder if the Scout had made a comeback first, people would be saying "looks more like an old Bronco...." Anything to talk down the competition!

Scout has a cleaner side look like the new Bronco. Also, hard top on the Scout looks more like the new Bronco. Old Bronco always had trim on it, and was more flat sided. That's an old Scout!

I think the 70s Scouts and the new Bronco share some styling.

I saw on TFL were they mentioned that the Scout is coming back. Volkswagen bought the name, and it will be an EV or hybrid I believe. I hope they make it an off-road worthy vehicle.

Like the old Bronco, the Scout has always intrigued me.
