Little Bagger: 1963 Cushman Super Silver Eagle

When I say motor scooter, you probably imagine a European (probably Italian) step through scooter, ideally with Audrey Hepburn driving it.  The American scooter manufacturer Cushman had a distinctly American take on the scooter, which of course, looked like a miniaturized Harley.  Find this 1963 Cushman Super Silver Eagle for sale on Vancouver Island, Canada for $4,000 via craigslist.

Bush Basher: 1989 Cushman Truckster


Growing up, I remember hearing the phrase "Real rednecks don't have hunting trucks, they have hunting Luminas". Applying that logic, this Cushman went from killing peoples afternoons with parking tickets to killing critters in the woods of North Carolina via some redneck's creative direction. Rest assured that if you're hunting out of a 2WD Cushman, you'll cull all of the lamest, deafest deer out of the heard.  Find this 1989 Cushman Pickup for sale in Monroe, NC for $2,500 via craigslist.

B-Team: 1990ish Cushman Van


Television creatives in the 21st century have lost their mojo, and the current trend is to create remakes or reboots of classic, successful shows -- perhaps with a twist.  Change ethnicity or gender of the lead characters (compared to the original whitewashed 50s/60s versions...) and you've got instant gold.  Imagine if you rebooted the original A-Team, but used vertically challenged actors instead -- John "Hannibal" Smith is played by Danny DeVito, Templeton "Face" Peck played by Tom Cruise, "Mad" Murdock played by Wee Man, and B.A. Baracus is played by Steve Urkel.  Now...for the pièce de résistance, the GMC Vandura is replaced by this 1990ish Cushman Van here on eBay offered for $6,950 buy-it-now or make-offer located in Mundelein, IL.

2k: Going Postal: 1966 Westcoaster Mailster

The US Postal Service has no official creed or motto, but inscribed on the  James A. Farley Post Office Building in Midtown Manhattan is the following excerpt from Herodotus' Histories in reference to the Persian mounted postal deliverymen: Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.  Unfortunately the unofficial motto makes no mention of death and dismemberment from the notoriously hazardous 3-wheeled Mailster that USPS employees had to drive in the 50's/60's across this great nation.  Experience it for yourself by buying this 1966 Westcoaster Mailster offered for $1,900 in Baldwin Park, CA via craigslist.
