When the country went to war in 1941, contracts were awarded to the Cushman Company for their scooters.<\/p>\n<p>The Model 53 became the &#8220;Airborne Infantry Scooter&#8221; and could be dropped from the sky as a means of mobility when the soldiers reached the ground. After the war, the Model 53 was produced for civilian use.<\/p>\n<p>This 1946 Cushman Model 53 has been restored with a Metallic Red, and a &#8220;buddy seat&#8221; was added to the back.
