Salsbury Model 85
The Salsbury Model 85 is one of those unique pieces in the Nostalgia Street Rods collection that comes with a great story behind it.
The Model 85 was an innovative American motor scooter known for its distinctive streamlined styling, automatic CVT transmission, and unusually comfortable spring-cushioned seat. Fewer than 1,000 Model 85 scooters are believed to have been produced, making surviving examples an uncommon piece of American transportation history.
But the best part of this particular Salsbury is how it joined the collection.
“The funny story is my dad bought this years ago when he was spending hours on the internet doing auctions. He was so excited because it had a cushion seat.”
Sometimes the story behind a vehicle makes it just as memorable as the machine itself, and this Salsbury is a perfect example. With its unusual design, comfortable seat, and family connection, it’s another one-of-a-kind piece of history you can find at Nostalgia Street Rods.
