  1. Great picture but it is not a Cushman but an Autoette electric microcar built in Long Beach, Ca from 1948 to 1970 It was an actual street legal car. Great picture of an unusual vehicle, keep them coming!

  3. Do you know if the owner of this autoette would be interested in selling it?

    1. Sure, I know the disposition of this 60 year old photo's scooter, and the other million cars, trains, planes, trucks, and motorcycles.
      I have the world's best notes on cars, owners, their emails and phone numbers.
      Sure you wouldn't rather find a grip on reality?
