Cool. I love the retro look. Maybe I will become a fan.

Interesting rear wing on the end of that pole. Kind of Hankford inspired by the looks of it. :laugh:

Kidding aside, if anyone here grew up near Philly, you probably experienced Lusse Autoskooters, as the factory was in this area (along with the PTC and Dentzel).

Hard hitting Lusse bumper cars with the old-style metal band (instead of the newer rubber bumpers) are hard to find now, though they were everywhere when I was a kid. Knoebels still has them, though.
