Vehicle Description
Cushman is a manufacturer of industrial, personal, and custom
vehicles. It is currently based in Augusta, Georgia, United States,
and is owned by Textron. Some late-1950s Cushmans, designated Road
King and Pacemaker, had jet-age body styling. Sears sold a version
of these models under the Allstate brand. Cushman scooters featured
an automatic centrifugal clutch, which allowed the rider to twist
the right grip to accelerate. Oddly, the throttle twisted forward
during acceleration, opposite the usual pattern in most other
motorcycles and scooters. Cushman claimed 75 miles per gallon and
advertised penny-a-mile operating cost. Cushman scooters usually
weighed about 250 to 335 pounds and had as much as 9 horsepower. In
comparison to European scooters.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1957 Cushman Eagle for
consideration. This Cushman has been fully restored in 2012 and
features only 532 miles on it since completion. Powering this
scooter is an 8 horsepower engine that was rebuilt along with the
restoration in 2012, paired with the motor is a centrifical cluch
and 2 speed transmission that was also rebuilt during the
restoration process. The current owner also added an electric
starter for convenience which works great! This Eagle took first
place at the Cushman of Indiana show in 2012. Please call or email
us today for more information.
