Description
This is a very rare and collectable classic Scooter that received a cosmetic restoration and full mechanical service, which included: stripping and repainting the sheet metal, base coat, clear coat and reupholstered the seats. In addition, the fuel system, lights, and horn were serviced, the carburetor was rebuilt, and a new muffler and battery were installed. Regardless of use, this Cushman scooter is an interesting vehicle that would make a unique addition to any classic or vintage car or motorcycle collector's collection!
History
In early 1961, Cushman began the quiet production of an all new, all-aluminum OMC Super Husky engine to replace the long-lived Husky engine. The promotion was quiet because the new Silver Eagle was to be a 25th anniversary model for the 1962 celebration. In 1962, the Super Husky was refined and launched in a new Floating Power Chassis with rubber engine mounts. Cushman was truly the big name in little wheels.
