This car (an Adler) was absolutely gorgeous imho but the event sponsor probably wouldn't want to be associatyed with it :wink:

The red scooter (not the trike) is called a Salisbury. I don't know any tech specs on them. Pretty rare scoot. I had a chance to ride one once and boy was it frightening. Bad brakes, funky steering and crap suspension. AND>>>> the things was recently restored, so it wasn't a dog pile or anything. Just not a very well thought out machine. I wouldn't recommend it. For eccentric nutters only.

Cushmans on the other hand.... Not too shabby mechanically, but that quasi Harley mid century American styling doesn't do anything for me.

Love that red micro car, I wonder if a RB lump would fit in it.
