60 Plus Years Of Making Vespa Scooters

If you follow the Vespa Lexington blog then you know I am a big big fan of the history behind the Vespa brand. They have been making the worlds best scooter since the 1940’s! I can’t tell you how many folks walk into our shop and tell us about a Vespa they had when they were younger back in the 50’s and 60’s. I love a brand like Vespa that you can associate with; history, style, and quality.

Initially I was on the hunt for old photographs of Vespa shops from the 50’s and 60’s for a blog post. Unfortunately I had absolutely no luck. While on the hunt I ran across this really cool set of photographs on Flickr basically spanning 60 years of the production line at the Vespa plant in Pontedera Italy. They are absolutely amazing!

Make sure and check out the entire set of photographs here; Pontedera where Vespa’s are created and spend some time checking out Culturesponge’s other Vespa sets, there are tons of amazing old and new Vespa photographs.
