My kind of scooter

This is the kind of scooter I look for. I just bought this one. To appreciate a scooter like this you have to see the beauty under the rust. It's a Civilian Airborne Cushman, model 53A. The pencil springs on the front fork identify it as 1946 or early 1947.

Jewel's jewel

This scooter belongs to a lady named Jewel. She calls her Cushman Highlander "Jewelbox." She and her husband, Bruce, enjoy riding Cushmans.

A Highlander and a Mustang

The Cushman Highlander model 721 usually has a fiberglass cover over the rear wheel and gas tank. This one appears to be a combination of two different models. The luggage rack on the back is not a standard Cushman accessory. But overall, I think it looks pretty darned neat.

In the background is a Mustang, a motorcycle look-alike that is classed as a scooter. Most Mustang models were known for speed. They were made in California. Behind the Mustang is a Cushman Eagle
