I think this is the first time I've seen an Indian servicar connected to the back bumper of a car, with the accessory wheels in the locked down position

Similar to the Harley Servicar, this motorcyclist was returning from delivering a car that he drove, and has this towed behind it, (with the outrigger wheels in the lowered position) until delivery was made, and he rode this motorcycle back to the dealership of service station

for a look at interesting vehicles, you can't go wrong with watching 70s tv shows and movies, like The Cat From Outer Space

 fun movie I remeber getting a kick out of as a kid in the late 70s... I probably haven't seen it since

probably the only Harley Servi-Car to deliver chili, I kid you not.

Frank Varallo Sr. immigrated to the United States from Italy in the late 1800s. 

He served as an interpreter at Ellis Island before moving to Nashville, TN, to pursue a career as a violinist. A hunting accident ended Frank's music career, and he decided to turn to his other passion: "chile".

Varallo started by selling his "chile" from a small cart in the corner of a local saloon. His chili recipe was incredibly successful, and he soon opened the first Varallo's Chile Parlor on Broadway in 1907. ​

This three-wheel Harley Davidson motorcycle was used to deliver fresh hot chile around downtown Nashville. In 1938, Varallo's Restaurant was open 24 hours a day. It delivered gallons of chile each day.

and this had me look at "dispatch tow Indian" on ebay, where I found 

and I love engineering drawings, blue prints, and schematics of cool things, and if someone out there isn't buying the originals like this, scanning them and selling them as posters - they should be

But Mario knew that there were some FLT Harley Accessory tops!

Thanks Mario!

A new thing for me to see on the back of a Harley, a big ol trailer chassis. So, a Servi-car with the working storage removed for a trailer hitch. Hmm.

http://harleydavidsonfactoryphotos.tumblr.com/

Harley Davidson servicars, seemed to be attaching to cars with a normal trailer hook, maybe with a c-clamp on the bumpers?

whatever it was, the photographer seemed to be focused on taking the photo of each of these guys at exactly that moment

Update, Thomas at the garage journal thread about Johnson's service station has found a bumper clamp mount for towing from a tow hitch, to the car you are pulling, by means of that follower car having a clamp on it's bumper

Luther had a cool service cycle, but the side tire has rubbed on the box, and the support brace under the front of the box seems to have lost it's hardware securing it to the chassis

I can't remember ever seeing an advertisement for a Harley Servicar before

American Pickers found a 1937 Harley 45 Servicar under a porch in Vicksburg, Mississippi

This is an extremely rare example of what Harley Davidson referred to as the 37-GD Model (large compartment servi-car 45ci flathead). “Pringle’s” was the name of the local service station and this was their delivery vehicle. This was the first year for the new 45 CI engine design with recirculation oil pump and styling. Ultra rare 1937 1 year only dash with all original OEM.

Bike is available for pickup at Cyclemoss in Red Boiling Springs, Tennessee

Motorcycles, sidecars and an Indian Servicar

 Cool oil sumps on the island

 All optioned up

 First time I've seen an Indian Servicar, but also interesting is the Packard Service sign's shape

 1924 police, and interesting sidecar windshield

1926 Batimore taxi. Pretty cool, but I think history demonstrates this didn't work out

Why are these guys playing golf on a dry lake?
It's a right hand drive, US military 1920's car... raises a couple questions to my mind

But Steve did it again! How in the world he worked out that this is a 1915-16 Chalmers Light 6 Roadster... is a mystery! There is nothing to go on! I can't see anthing very distinguishing, but Steve is incredible, and nailed another unidentified car!

Ford made the switch to Left Hand Drive in 1908 with the Model-T, but most companies didn't start making the switch until between 1913 and 1916. Some makers held off until the 1920s - Pierce Arrow in 1921 and Stutz in 1922 for instance. Some firetruck manufacturers continued to fill customer orders for RHD trucks on into the 1930s.


I haven't come across many of the servicars
that is a well packed trunk!
But how many have kids in the trunk... and trust that the stupid kids won't climb over the stuff once they are driving down the road?
