I haven't seen many Vespa scooter ads, so I thought I would post this one. This ad appeared in 1967, which makes it old, but the Vespa brand is even older with the first Vespa scooter manufactured in 1946. I didn't mess with the photo darkness and I think this is how the ad appeared, because all other pages in the magazine looked normal. I think all the Vespa scooters back than were powered by a 2 stroke engine. In fact, I believe stricter EPA standards hurt Vespa later on because they couldn't meet these standards with a 2 stroke engine.
