59-year-old scooter




I just found another "barn fresh" Cushman scooter. This one actually came from a basement. It is a 1946 or '47 Cushman with a few parts that date from about 1950. The tublar body is not correct. It probably came from a model 64 Cushman Super which was made about 1950 or maybe as late as 1954. The rest of it is a pencil-spring, fat tire, Road King(model 54) or possibly a Civilian Airborne (model 53A). The fat tires have me leaning toward the Airborne.

I average about one scooter find a year, so finding two in the same month is rather exciting.
