This is a neat photo of a 50's Allstate Vespa.  It appears to be taken on a military base, probably Air Force.  I love the 50's look that the mom has, and the kid looks straight out of Leave it to Beaver.  Also, I just can't imagine any scene like this happening today's hyper-safety conscious society.  A mom riding her kid on the back of her scooter - no shirt, no helmet, shorts...  what could possibly go wrong?  Oh the 50's were a golden era of foolishness.
