Like most other manufacturers, Harley-Davidson relied on sidecar-equipped solos as a means of exploiting the motorcycle’s commercial possibilities, until the arrival of the purpose-built Servi-Car trike in 1932 raised the three-wheeler’s potential to new levels. Powered by Harley’s rugged 45ci ‘flat head’ v-twin, the Servi-Car incorporated a car-type differential in its rear axle right from the start and a reverse gear soon after introduction. The Servi-Car’s main customer was the police, but this versatile machine was also much favored by auto dealers as a tow vehicle and by small businesses for deliveries. In the latter role it served as a useful mobile billboard, there being ample room to display the company name and ’phone number on the rear of the cargo box, while for $3.50 per pair H-D would supply fender advertising skirts. The versatile Servi-Car also enabled disabled motorcyclists to enjoy the genuine Harley-Davidson experience. Regularly upgraded in line with Harley-Davidson’s motorcycle range, it remained in the catalog until 1974 and the time of its retirement was Milwaukee’s longest running model. Dating from 1962, this Police Servi-Car has the Hydra-Glide telescopic fork that has replaced the old ‘springer’ front end in 1959, and is fitted with twin driving lights. Presented in wonderful condition, the machine displays total of 28,223 miles on the odometer and has not been ridden since the completion of its restoration. We are advised that an unrestored ‘chalk stick’ holster and siren may be available. Without reserve
