Cushman Model 32 description

This US Navy Scooter was restored this year and won the 2016 La Jolla Motorcar Classic award for best motorcycle. Found in a Point Loma garage, this original US Navy scooter was believed to have been used at the Naval Air Station San Diego, now known as NAS North island on Coronado. Built for the war effort and never registered as a civilian vehicle (bill of sale only), these scooters were commonly used for messengers and for internal transportation on large military bases. They often came with no lighting or brackets to save on materials. The US Navy accounting department tag is still in it's original condition, riveted to the frame near the footwell.
Painstaking effort was taken to recover the original Navy registration number, which was found under multiple layers of paint. The body is original and its unrestored condition is pictured.  The motor is a 4 hp Cushman Husky (believed to be original) with a centrifugal clutch, the engine tag has also been left unrestored. This is a great small piece of American, automotive, and military history. 

The scooter runs well and starts in 1-2 kicks. It is also offered for sale locally and I reserve the right to end sale if the reserve has not been met. Please ask any questions you may have.
