Okay I have to chime in here on something I heard last night on an American Pickers episode repeat. It was the one where they dug the Indian out of the ground in Springfield. I really like the show but Mike Wolfe needs to think before he speaks or maybe read his lines a little bit closer. This guy claims to know everything about Indians but goes and make a statement that is totally incorrect. He says that from 1939 to 1945 Indian did not make a civilian Chief so the only option was to buy an Indian 4 cylinder.
I mean come on, I know of several AMCA members with 1940, 1941 and yes some 1942 Chiefs and of course we all know that 1942 was the last year for the 4 cylinder. Then the essential use Chief from 1944 and 1945. The only year I was aware of that Indian did not make a civilian model was 1943. I think Harley also did this.
I don't claim to know everything about Indians but I also know not to make a statement like he did without having my information correct.
Okay I am done. Thanks for listening. Mark.
