Wanted: barn-fresh motor scooters


I'm looking for barn-fresh motor scooters. Dead or Alive. This one appears to be dead, but it may have a few usable parts. Some barn-fresh scooters have been sitting around in barns (or sheds, garages, basements, etc.) for decades Just waiting for someone to rescue them. Almost all of them need work. The best of them need the fuel system cleaned out and rotten tires replaced.
But the main reason for this site is that it gives me a chance to post pictures of antique and collectable motor scooters. This gives people a place to properly identify motor scooters. You have to do that before you can sell or restore them.
So scroll down through the pictures. Enjoy these historic vehicles. Most of them look better than this first pictcure.

Howard, I really enjoyed reading and learning about the different models of Cushman scooters that you have nicely shown. That's seems to be a fun hobby. Riding around Indy must have been great. I'll start keeping an eye out for barn-fresh scooters now! It's getting harder to find barns these days, especially in the Charlotte NC area near me.

I have a 5" x & 7" picture of a man on a Cushman. A vintage phot taken back in the 1960's. The man looks like you. Perhaps it is. Anyway, I was going to list it on Ebay and while doing a search to find out what type of scooter this was, I ran across your site. I want you to have this picture. Please contact me so I can mail it to you.
