Cousins Everett and Clinton Cushman began building engines in 1901.
Early power-plants were branded the Husky. Over the years these
engines powered lawn mowers, race boats, plows, pumps and more. But
the Cushman Motor Works of Omaha, Nebraska, which came along later
in the lives of the Cushman brothers, also established a good
reputation by building motor scooters. The first was the famous
Auto-Glide model which they started to manufacture in 1937. Then in
1949, Cushman redesigned its 50 series scooter borrowing styling
cues from big American touring motorcycles like the Harley-Davidson
Duo-Glide. The newly named Cushman Eagle Motorcycle became the
firms best seller ever.
While Cushmans were fine products in the 1950s, they could not
endure competition from Japanese motorcycle manufacturers who
brought price and sophistication along with better distribution and
marketing. Cushman assembled its last typical consumer type scooter
in 1966.
This 1960 Cushman is just waiting for you to strike out on a new
adventure with original patina and a rusty chain, vintage tires
that can hardly hold air.
Single solo puts you in command of all mechanical necessities.
Stand tall and ride taller, head and shoulders above the
competition.
Motorcycle includes a free full tank of gas and best wishes.
