This Was Functional?

A lot of these old ads serve to portray the transportation technology long ago. The design of these is often so crude-looking in comparison to the counterparts of today as to make one wonder if they in fact worked.  I mean look at this thing! It looks to be too small and insecure to provide solid get-around. 


Nevertheless, people got about on such things.

Jacques and Sylvie take a ride on his new Caen scooter. Jacques is prettier than Sylvie, but Sylvie chalks that up to his skillful use of make up. No matter -- he has nothing to match Sylvie's buttercream thighs.
