Vespa calendar famous people, John Wayne, Cary Grant, Raquel Welch, Charleton Heston, Geraldine Chaplin

Thanks to Tim for sharing! Vespa had a damn good idea with this calendar, the added exposure and free advertisign they got by giving or loaning the scooters to famous people while they made movies was a brilliant idea, and far less costly than getting the stars paid to endorse.

Postal delivery vehicles from scooters, Vespas, up in size to Mack trucks
