Yes. tom. :cowboy2:

Thanks, amigo.

Didn't Sears sell Cushman scooters and motor bikes under the Allstate name?

I recall that they also sold motorcycles, small ones, I think.

Who made those?

Yes, i am old.

:biggrin:

As a teen I took my Vespa out for a snow day. Eight to ten inches of snow, more in drifts, roads mostly cleared. Was doing great until I decided to take an uncleared road. Floorboard rode up onto the snow and suddenly I was stalled. Couldn’t steer and rear tire was no longer touching pavement. Had to push it back to cleared pavement and was good to go again.

Sears sold Vespa motor scooters under the Allstate name. At the same time they sold a couple sizes of Cushman scooters and a couple small motorcycles. Vespa was Italian, Cushman was USA, and I think the motorcycles were Austrian.

Sears didn't sell Cushmans that I remember. Some of the Allstates were Simplex or some other brands. We owned several of them. tom.
