Indian Chief motorcycle
A classic, the Indian is considered the most stylish of mass-produced motorcycles.
In 1897 American-made bicycles named Indian were sold overseas. The name stuck when the company sold its first motorcycles in 1902. It became a true brand, with a feathered headdress as the logo and Indian Red as the signature color. In the 1930s, models could be customized with colors such as Mohawk Green, Seminole Cream, Navajo Blue, and Apache Gray.
This model's fender ornament is an Indian figure with headdress, and the word Indian is written in stylish script on the tank. The company's first advertising executive said, "No more popular or wealth-producing name could have been chosen." |
