May people wonder how much our vintage scooters cost when they were new. I have a lot of old price sheets, but have not had the time to scan them all. Here we have a nice photo of a display stand which had the prices all listed.
The surprising thing here is that the scooters were actually more or less comparable to today's prices. I'm guessing that these prices were listed around 1963 based upon the models offered, but I don't have the exact date. Using 1963, that GS, in today's dollars would be about $3600. Not too shabby, considering a brand new 2010 Vespa GTS will set you back about twice that, with an MSRP of $6200.
