A Vintage Chief or a Chief Vintage? Indian Motorcycle made a Chief Vintage.

Unless, of course, you're talking about a pre-1953 Chief. You have a pre-1953 Chief?

Yes, a '47 Chief.

But what's wrong with a '53?

My post disappeared into ether. Weird.

Perhaps I should have stated 'pre-54'?
Nothing at all wrong w/ a '53. The '47 Chief if one of my all-time favorite Indians. Good on you!

And yous? You have a Chief vintage?

I kinda like the latest Indians, just not the big Harley-style headlight "nacelle". They had a girder front end "one-off" custom a few years back that was amazing, but as far as I know it was never offered as an option.

Sorry to steal your thread GMC, hell - I did find you your PETCOCK though.
Picture is several years old (prior to leather wrap on rear engine guard). I re-stained the stock distressed leather to a real distressed leather.

Let's try this..me on Dad's bike in 1990 and on the tribute bike circa 2010.

Never had an Olds neon sign, but around 20 years ago I used to have a collection of beer neons (Spuds McKenzie, Budman, Yeungling, Ballantine, Miller High Life, Miller Genuine Draft guitar, etc.). I seem not to have a single digital image of any of them.
