6-17 Update: Now this Gest is on eBay, with no reserve! Someone’s getting a weird scooter – get your chance
Based out of Philadelphia, the Gest Motor Scooter Manufacturing Company made a variety of scooters that were marketed as economical forms of transportation.
They also made a ‘transporter’ version that was built for commercial usage:

For more information and a few cool vintage ads, check out this page from the US Scooter Museum.
I can’t find any information on this, so you’ll have to take the seller at his/her word, but this is claimed to be a transporter that was used during WWII to transport parts around air fields. I have no idea if this runs, but it’s definitely a bike you won’t see every day – or maybe even ever again.
Find this Gest for sale in Limerick, Maine for $950 here on Craigslist.
