Perfect Valentine's Day Gift? How About a Bright-Red Vespa!

    DENVER-January 29, 2001--Who wouldn't love to be surprised by a bright-red Vespa with a delicious box of chocolates on the seat?
    At 100 miles per gallon, with a "future-retro" styling, a Vespa isn't just practical, it's fun. Orders are being taken now at Colorado's only Vespa retailer, 720/932-7271. The shop, Colorado Vespa, will be opening soon on Larimer Square.
    The Vespa has been used by generations of young people, adjusting its image to the changing times, first as a post-war means of mobility for the masses, then as the two wheeler of the economic boom and, in the 60s and 70s, as a symbol of youth culture. Indeed, throughout the world, the Vespa has never passed out of fashion. Over the last 55 years it has only become more beloved and more associated with the freedom and style that is Italy.
