This past Sunday was the annual car show at Hooters. While my favorite car was a red-over-red ’70 AAR ‘cuda owned by the same guy since 1974, I did have to get a couple shots of this cute little Cushman. Tired of walking all over at a car show? Just hop in, and you can cruise the show in style! Just watch out for those slower attendees…
Here’s the engine, hiding under the seat. The shroud over the engine looks a lot like an old steel beer cooler–especially with that vintage Cushman logo and chrome trim!
It may not have lumbar support, but hey, at least you take have a seat! Sadly, no one was offering rides. If this had just a bit more patina, I think it would fit right in in Eugene!
I could see myself putting around on that, minus the surrey top. A mini-pickup; all it needs is a dump bed!
Something like this ?
Too big! Too new!
Right now, at least until the rain starts, on open-topped one like the Cushman appeals. As does its putt-putt engine sound. 🙂
Well, at least its 422 cc 1-cylinder diesel engine will say “putt-putt”.
I know it isn’t a car, but maybe a fellow CCer who’s a Cushman owner or fan could do a write-up?
When I was a lad, our small town police department had a three wheeler something like this in addition to the cruiser. Might it have been a Cushman or was it more likely a Harley?
If you do not want to sit on the engine,
this chinese tuc tuc cargo trike is just for you,
hauling capacity is 700 lbs on flat roads , not bad for 150cc four stroke engine,
the top speed fully loaded is unknown.
These are all the rage in Haiti right now ,
they are cheap, well designed with a solid rear axle and differential, transmission shaft and a revers !
It can be hot roded with a 250cc engine pulled out of another chinese motocycle.
