A Military Mustang?

Well, not quite…but take a look at this cool photo Jimbo sent to us:

Hi Steve!

I couldn’t stop thinking of you when I ran across this brochure of the RM Auctions, October 11 & 12th 2012 in Hershey, Pennsylvania.   I had to photograph it on my monitor to capure the photo…

I have no idea what it sold for!…If you can bring up this site, there are some fabulous photos of antique bikes for auction.

Fact:  Mustang did not make any military models…this has to be a private project entry..

Cheers!

Jimbo

Jim, thanks for sending that to us!  As you know, we also have our Military Series, the first one of which was Steve’s personal CSC, the Sarge…

I didn’t know if Mustang ever actually made bikes for the military or not, so thanks for clearing that up.  I do know that Cushman actually made a bike designed to be air-dropped with US Army paratroopers…

That’s a military Cushman in the photo above that I grabbed when my good buddy Carl and I visited the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles last year.   Cool stuff, folks.

That’s it for now, my friends.   Ride safe!
