Rodgers Sidecars

[exeric]

I'm working on getting a Rodgers Sidecar that appears to have been attached to a 1915-16 Excelsior. It would be a nice mate for my '16 X but I'm thinking that it would also be nice on a '16 H-D or Henderson. If there is a Rodgers aficionado/expert out there; perhaps you could point me in the direction of some good information, or give me a thumbnail education on Rodgers history and applications.

Hi, Eric,
First off, I don't think there's a "d" in Rogers. That will make any internet searching you embark upon a lot easier. Just like there's no first "e" in Flxible. And they ended up building bus bodies.
It was, formally: Rogers Mfg. Co., 337 W. Madison St., Chicago, Ill.

Here's one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/zacheverson/4492521838/

Or, this Googlebooks ref. will take you through 37 cites, including articles and ads with engravings, of Rogers Sidecars:

(Number 3 of the 37 is a nice ad from Motorcycle Illustrated)

It seems that their heyday was around 1917, Eric. Hope this helps!

Thinks. . . I mean thanks.

Rogers Side Car Ads

The single page ad is from 1916 and the double page ad is from 1915. Will look and see if I can find any articles that might help. Matt
