When is the last time you saw
an advertisement for Harley Davidson motorcycles in a model airplane
magazine? This ad appeared in a 1951 issue of Air Trails. Harley Davidson
was established way back in 1903, so even in 1951 it was nearly half a century old.
Early models looked like - and essentially were - bicycles with beefed up frames
and an engine nestled between the rider's lower legs. Interestingly, the Wikipedia
article notes that Harley-Davidson and
Indian were the only two major motorcycle manufacturers
who survived the Great Depression that began in 1929. Equally
interesting - for those who remember the TV show "Happy Days" - is that quintessential 1950s biker figure
Fonzi
rode a British-made
Triumph motorcycle, not one of the American brands.
