Oh, does that bring back memories. I had one in a two tone, cream and red color combination. It also had a square buddy seat behind the driver. I drove that thing to school when it was so cold my dad's car wouldn't start. My hands were frozen to the hand grips by the time I got there. The bad part of it was it only had a rear brake and my high school was up on a hill. I remember one rainy afternoon coming down that hill after school putting on the brake and finally sliding to a stop just as I got to the intersection. I loved that scooter.
I thought the original Cushman's were so ugly, but damn, the modern ones are even worse. And with Subaru motors? So, STILL not an all-American scooter? We need all-American made products so that we can rely on ourselves and not international trade.
My Dad bought me a Cushman in 1953. It was the smallest of the line then. In ‘54, I got an Eagle and rode the hell out of it for a couple of years before my 1st car. Great memories for both Cushmans.
My older brother and I threw a boat load of the Miami Times Herald morning newspapers off one of those back in 1960 - 1963 at the AFB in Puerto Rico. We hung two set of saddlebags off the body and I threw to the right and my brother, who was left handed, threw to the houses on the left. 264 papers every morning for 2.5 years. I've thought many times about picking up one of the new ones to ride around on out here in the country where I live. Our Dad rode the Eagle.
Pretty sharp! The very first ride on a bike was on a friend's Cushman, it was a step down from this one, same front end but didn't have the sleek tail piece like on this one. It was about a year later I got my own Cushman, a 1958 Cushman Eagle, I got it about 1961.
well, by this point ( 1962) the 8 hp M9 engine is running with authority, and the body work is pretty sleek. One only has to watch a video of a 48 pacemaker to see the differences. The lack of a front brake on most models was not only regrettable, it wasn't very sensible, since the front brake does 70% of the stopping. This example is sure in fine fettle.
I had a 58 Cushman Eagle, it had a front brake but it didn't work, we were told the old wive's tale about the front brake would instantly throw you on your head, so we had no desire to get it fixed. Years later riding bigger bikes and taking Experienced Rider Courses I find out how to properly use the front brake and just how important the front brake is!
I never saw this particular model, it’s really nice looking!

I believe that there is a market for these type of simple and yet stylish machines to be sold today, simplicity is the key.

Amazing
Looks great. Late 50's early 60's style that was in. Today no style .
I had one like this backin 1965, but not as shiny.
Should have front brakes, helps in traffic and slopes.
