Vintage Motorcycles

According to original Ordinance Department Administrative and Tactical Vehicles cut sheets obtained by the war department, we have learned that 4734 model 53 Cushman Airborne motor scooters were purchased by the military in 1944. It is not known how many are left, but we have only seen two other machines during our travels. Having passed though many hands over the years, this scoot has found its final home among the military displays at Cyclemos.

This particular machine is especially interesting because of its unique and proven history. This machine was used by the United States Army 101st Airborne division in 1944 during operation "Market Garden" in Eindhoven, Netherlands.
