Vespa Club of America, Chicago chapter

Importer/dealer Vespa of Chicago (on 6613 N. Clark Importer/dealer Vespa of Chicago (on 6613 N. Clark) sold parts, (DASMI) accessories, and serviced scooters for ten years after Vespa left the market, but finally closed in December 1994. Their service guy, Ron Hedlund, went to work for Phil McCaleb at the new @scooterworksusa on Ravenswood. McCaleb apparently sent some wall dogs over to Clark Street to update the old sign. Scooterworks of course went on to start @genuinescooters and their local Genuine dealership, @scooterworkschicago, is now on Damen.. The wall is still there, painted over, but hopefully that marquee is still hidden away somewhere safe… (photo from Spring 1995 American Scooterist magazine)
