New 1940 Indian 4

[Tom Wilcock]

ScannedImage.jpg Since this photo does not qualify for "pre 1930 photos" I will post it here. The photo is dated Feb. 1940. It looks like the proud owner has just taken delivery of a new Indian 4. Note the factory/dealer tag attached to the fork. Wonder where this bike is now. Tom #381

Awesome shot Tom! Is it a local photo?

Cory: It is a local photo (southern Ontario). I was unsuccessful in trying to track the owner and bike. Tom #381

Howdy Tom,

Absolutely beautiful. 440's with those 18's and so little chrome kinda have the last signs of the 30's era about them. Note that clutch pedal firmly latched down, likely with motor idling. I can just see those clutch fingers flexing and hear that throw out bearing groaning.

I thought so Tom, don't give up on it yet, you just never know....

Peter, I can hear the noise from here!!!

Is that not a patch on his left sleeve? Maybe this is a motor officer posing on his new issue bike. He does look pretty neatly dressed, almost like a uniform.

regards,
Rob

Do you know the motor vin?? Looks like mine, LOL, except I'm missing the rear fender trim.
