Allstate Cruisaire Is A Cool Piece Of Vespa History
"Super Cruisaire Allstate" and were sold from 1952 to 1967. The last year of sales in 1966-67 the Allstate was simply called the "Sears" scooter.

In the 1950s, Vespa wasn’t yet selling its scooters in the U.S. on its own. After seeing how successful Sears was at marketing the Allstate Vespas to the American market, Piaggio changed its mind and began marketing Vespas on its own in the U.S. Since the Sears Catalog was the primary way for a lot of folks in remote areas to buy consumer goods, Allstate Vespas of the era are much easier to find in all corners of the country, according to Scooter Lounge.

Allstate scooters, the rather lovely example here is a 1960 Allstate Cruisaire. It’s a later-model Allstate, which means it has a combined speedometer/odometer from Veglia as its sole instrumentation.

Models prior to 1958 lacked speedometers from the factory, although they were available as an option. It’s a 125cc two-stroke scoot, with a solo saddle and a little rack on the back.
