The scooter in the foreground is a 1947 Cushman that I got in barn-fresh condition. It took two years to make it look like this. I was finished in 1995.The middle scooter was the result of combining two really bad barn relics. It's an Allstate DeLuxe made by Cushman. The back half is a '54 and the front a '53, but those years were the same.
In the background, is a 1963 Cushman Super Silver Eagle. It was one of the good ones. It needed a complete fuel system clean out, and a back tire. The chrome is pitted and the paint is faded, but it is too close to original to restore. I prefer scooter original or restored to original. I don't want them modified or customized.

My dad has a '47 pacemaker also! Neat. We just recently got it running good again.

Do you happen to have any closer up images of the mirrors? Is that a hard item to find?
Thanks!
