Not to be confused with the insurance company, Allstate was a distributor of motorcycles, scooters, and even a couple of cars between the 40s and the 60s. Through varying partnerships with Gilera, Puch, Vespa, Cushman, and others, Allstate sold vehicles through unconventional outlays. The Allstate Puch, as you could imagine, was built by the Austrian firm, Puch. What you might not expect was that you could order it at a Sears department store, or even via the mail-order catalog! Offered in three displacements from 125cc to 250cc, the middle 175 is being featured today. This specific example has recently been serviced after being a barn find with just 147 miles! Find this Allstate Puch 175 for sale here on Craigslist for $2,495 in Jacksonville, Florida.
