Yes, indeed! Here is your second point!

In an effort to attract car owners, Salsbury implemented several features to their '85' scooter: Gas and brake pedals on a flat floorboard in place of traditional twist-throttles and automatic transmission. The 'Model 85' has been introduced in 1947. Was also known as the "Imperial Rocket". The 85 was manufactured by the Northrup Aircraft company in Los Angeles, California from '47-'50. Less than 1,000 units were built over its three year production run.
