1952 Hotrod Cushman

After a long search, we finally found the type of Cushman I wanted 50 years ago.  Of course, it didn't even exist back then as this one is now.  Our "crowd" as kids couldn't afford the Lambrettas and Vespas of the day but this Cushman is definitely a Lambretta "Killer."

It was made by RobCo of Pennsylvania and is powered by a 10HP Tecumseh engine.  A comet clutch and 12V electrics were added for modern day convenience.  No start kicking for this scoot.  The paint was done in "Von Dutch" style and fishtails added for accent. 

With Brenda behind me clocking, we've been to 67MPH but shut down at that point.  These small tires are a bit worrysome beyond that speed as you can well imagine.
