Indian Other description

For sale here we have a stunning example of pre-WWII American motorcycle history. Indian described their 4 Cyl model as "The World's Most Beautiful Motorcycle." 1 look at this machine proves it. This bike was painstakingly restored and lovingly ridden for many years by my grandfather in Northern Ohio. The frame and engine numbers match . Exact year of the sidecar is unknown; however, this model sidecar was 1st available from Indian in 1939. Bike has a clean and clear Ohio title and has been owned and registered to my grandfather for over 20 yrs. The engine was completely rebuilt approx 10 yrs ago and has around 1,000mis on it since the rebuild. Everything that could be kept original was kept original. There is a weld/repair on rear of the engine case as shown in the pictures. This bike was last ridden in summer of 2012.
