My cousin had one of those when we were growing up in the 1960s. My dad said it looked like the box it came in. The other thing was when you slowed down the light would get dim because it ran off the mag. Dad said it looked like a hot nail! Great memories.
I had a cushman allstate about 1960 and had the most fun on it as a kid, maybe 12 or so, wish I could find another one without paying $5000 for one. Don't complain about working on it, I would give anything to have one and I'm 75.
Thanks for the Cushman video. I had a stepthrough when I was 12, now !m 77 and have a 49 stepthrough and 2 58 720 series. Just something about those scooters that make people happy! Hope you do more Cushman stuff.
In the early 50s, Sears Roebuck also sold a small car - called the Allstate I believed. It was just a "Henry J" (Kaiser) with Sears' Allstate badge on it. As I remember, the Henry J never really caught on, and neither did the Allstate. As I remember, the Crosley and the Nash Metro were a lot more common and there weren't thar many of those either. After the War, most folks would eagerly await the newest and "chromiest" of the new models each year. Big & fast with white sidewalls and a radio sold well. Gasoline was about 20 - 30 cents a gallon in the Chicago suburbs where I lived, and station attendants filled the tank, checked the oil, checked the radiator, washed the windshield, and gave a set of free cocktail glasses or whatever, and some S&H Green Stamp - all for about $ 4 worth of gas.
Yes, please do some more Cushman videos. Might want to get a "Mustie lift" if you ever seen him you'll know what I mean (youtuber Mustie1). Your body will thank you. Take it from me, 60+ years of beating on your body has an unwanted accumlative effect. Cool scooter, would be interesting to see further evolution of this unit.

In 1954 a neighbor owned a red Cushman. He would take my brothers and me for a ride every so often. I was 9. Great memory.

That sound…..I had Sears mini bike and then helped build go carts with these Briggs & Stratton engines . Lawnmower power !

I still have a Cushman scooter that I bought in 1964. It’s been in the garage all these years . Turn# over, and I’m planning on rebuilding it.
It's crazy to think you've been at this since you were 12 years old. I love Cushman and would love to see more videos on them

More Cushmans !
I'd like to see a few videos on the truckster and other cushmans you have. I have a 50cc japanese scooter; and I like riding it. Keep up the videos.
If you haven’t checked it out I uploaded a new video a couple days ago showing our Cushman collection. Would greatly appreciate the support!
It's gone to be hard to somebody who tries to steal you that motocycle
