Scout Car S1 (American), was an armoured car produced in Australia for the US Army during the Second World War.
In 1942 the United States Army Force in Australia issued a requirement for a light armoured car for patrolling and airfield defence. The requirement resulted in a vehicle designated Scout Car S1 (American). About 40 vehicles were produced by Ford Australia.
The vehicle was based on a Ford F15 4x2 chassis (a single 4x4 vehicle was built). The open-topped armoured hull was similar to that of the M3 Scout Car. The armament consisted of one .50 inch heavy machine gun and two .30 inch machine guns on a skate rails, operated by the crew of five.
