The record

International sent Scouts to Midas at Elkhart for the conversion-van treatment; the Midas edition was the most expensive Scout and the CVI (Custom Vehicles Inc.) editions of 1979–80 — Midnitestar, Terrastar, Travelstar, Shadow, Raven — followed the pattern.

Research status: draft — identification, dates or figures could not all be pinned down; the summary says what is unresolved.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
