My scooters

Most of my scooters are Cushmans, but I have Vespa scooters as well. Even a couple of motorbikes have slipped in there with the scooters, but I have no interest in big, fast motorcycles. Here is a listing of my collection:

1947 Cushman model 52, restored in 1995. It's red and has a claxton horn on the handlebars. It has the 4 horsepower Husky engine.

1963 Cushman Super Silver Eagle. It's unrestored and is very close to original. The red paint had faded to orange and there is pitting on the chrome. The engine is the overhead valve, OMC aluminum engine with 9 horsepower and it has two speeds.

1961 Cushman Highlander, restored, black and yellow with a 5 horsepower engine. This is not the correct engine, but it looks the same. It came from a 1957 Cushman Pacemaker.

1953 Allstate DeLuxe model 811.40 manufactured for Sears by Cushman. This scooter was professionally restored. It is a flashy red with an Art Decco body, one speed with the one-piece
Husky engine.

1953 Cushman Pacemaker model 62. This scooter is also unrestored and the paint looks terrible, but it is a good solid scooter that runs well and will be restored someday. It has the 7.3 hp square block Husky engine and is rather fast.

1972 Vespa Rally 180. This is the larger Vespa, with four speeds and an 8.9 hp engine. It's in great original condition and the color is orange.

1974 Vespa 90, green, with a three speed. The engine is not very powerful, but with three gears it moves right along. It also looks good and the original paint is excellent.

  • you're a wise man - big, fast motorcycles only mean big nasty motorcylce insurance bills... and that means no money for fuel!
