Harley-Davidson Other description

1961, G 45 c.i. Servi Car, Harley Davidson, Exempt Miles Color: Blue / White The Servi-Car was designed during the Great Depression when Harley-Davidson was desperate to expand its product base to increase sales. Targeted at the automotive service industry, the vehicle was designed to be towed behind a car to be delivered to a customer; when the car was delivered at its destination, the driver would unhitch the Servi-Car and ride back to the garage. For this reason, it was available with a tow bar at the front and a large 60 Ah battery. In addition to its intended use for car delivery and retrieval, the Servi-Car was also popular as a utility vehicle for small businesses and mobile vendors. They proved to be particularly popular with the police departments, some of which still pre-owned Servi-Cars into the 1990s. Engine The engine initially pre-owned by the Servi-Car was the 45 cubic inch flathead pre-owned in the 1932-36 R model.[1] It was changed in 1937 to the engine pre-owned in the W model, which differed mainly in having a recirculating oil system instead of the constant-loss system of the R. The "W" flathead engine continued until the end of production in 1973, despite the "W" solo series being replaced by the "K" series in 1952. An automatic start became available on the Servi-Car in 1964, making it the 1st civilian Harley with an automatic starter, 1yr before the debut of the Electra Glide.
