Travco Accessory: The Valmobile Folding Scooter
The photo was taken at the Barber Vintage Museum and was photographed by Chuck Schutz as found posted on his Flickr stream.
I first became aware of the Valmobile Folding Scooter when I saw it listed in a Travco Brochure of Optional Equipment.
Sadly Myrtle was not so lucky to come with a matching Valmobile! These scooters were often called suitcase scooters and were made in Japan in the 1950's and 1960's. You can read more about this little gem in this article: https://www.lanemotormuseum.org/collection/motorcycles/item/valmobile-fold-away-scooter-1950. This flickr photo link shows the: Valmobile with Sidecar!
