Powell AV8 question

[friday101]

Hi, would anyone have info on the price of the 1940 Powell AV8 or the Streamliner? an Ad I saw on the net had the price of $159.50 for AV8.
does that sound right?

The salsbury site has good info on old brochures
The Salsbury Scooters Go To War - Models 70 Thru 74 (salsburyscooterscrapbooks.com)

When Powell went into war production, they sold their Aviate parts to a couple of other companies who assembled and sold them into the late 1940s as the Ronnard Jeepette or the Clark Cyclone. Jeepettes had a hitch on the rear for a pintle hook, similar to the Cushman Airborne scooters

Looks very similar to the Doddle Bug of that era... ok one of the pics does.
