Not a Simplex but still cool!! True barn find!
« on: September 27, 2014, 02:51:51 PM »
A client just dropped this off to my shop for a top to bottom full restoration! It's a 1950 Harley Servi car that has been in the same family since 1951! The last time it was rode was 1968 my customer was 11 years old when his dad put it in the barn because it was smoking a little..46 years later!!! Here it is!!  It's not a Simplex but it's still really cool!! Just wanted to share this with you guys! It's just soooo cool that we can still find neat stuff that has not seen the light of day in years!!

Very cool indeed
If it came to you in a box it 's not Custom, it's just bought.

Really cool servi car!  I like the older ones like this with the spoked rear wheels.  What year did they change to the solid rear wheels?
