This 57 Allstate is available for sale right now in Massachusetts through ebay. This scooter looks to be a perfect candidate for restoration. It looks really straight, and there is no rust evident in the photos. It looks like the classic story of a scooter that was painted with housepaint at some point, which did a nice rust-prevention job. The original green paint is evident under the scratches and on the flywheel cover. All the parts look like they are there, including the very hard to find aluminum floor strips. This would be a straightforward restoration... or just get it running well and drive it as-is (which is probably what I would do). This is an interesting and fun ride for not much money. Just don't expect to go very far or very fast on it!
