The International Travelall is a model line of vehicles that were manufactured by International Harvester from 1953 to 1975. A station wagon derived from a truck chassis, the Travelall was a forerunner of modern people carriers and full-size sport utility vehicles.[1] Competing against the Chevrolet Suburban for its entire production, the model line was the first vehicle in the segment to offer four passenger doors.
As International did not produce passenger cars, the Travelall wagon sourced its chassis from the International pickup truck line. Following the 1961 introduction of the Scout (a precursor to off-road oriented SUVs), the Travelall continued to follow the development of the pickup truck line, competing against the slightly larger Suburban and the smaller Jeep Wagoneer.
After the 1975 model year, International Harvester ended production of the Travelall and its Light Line pickup trucks. Since the 1980 discontinuation of the Scout, International has focused its road vehicle production exclusively on medium-duty and heavy-duty commercial trucks.
