Cushman Combo

     The Cushman name is best known for the little three wheel gas 'Meter Maid' vehicles that plagued tardy shoppers as the 'Maids' wrote parking tickets. Cushman has a long history of manufacturing utility vehicles and golf cars. They made their own twin cylinder, 4 cycle engine that powered their truckster (the 'Meter Maid' & a 3 wheel golf car known as the '735') vehicles.
Their most common golf cars, however, were powered by an 8hp or 10hp Kohler single cylinder 4 cycle engine. They also offered a 36 volt electric golf car powered by a GE motor oupled to a Cushman differential.

     The last golf car came off the line in 1975. After that Cushman focused on utility vehicles for turf care and burden carriers for industry. Eventually the entire company was purchased by Ransomes of England, although the main manufacturing facility remained in Lincoln, Nebraska. In late 1998 the company was purchased by Textron Corp, the parent of E-Z-GO golf cars and Jacobson Turf Equipment.

     The car pictured above is a Cushman Combo. The rear seat flipped one way for golf bags to be carried or flipped the other to carry 2 extra riders facing rearward. The car came with many accessories including lights, turn signals and brake lights, long top and a windshield.
