Two different Cushman Road Kings

The "Ace of Aces" Cushman is a 1953 Road King just like mine. Could it be the same scooter? Chances are that it isn't, but who knows.

The hat that guy has on is not intended for riding a scooter.

The other scooter ridden by a lady, is also a Road King, but it's a 1957.
