1968 Harley Davidson Servi-Car Motorcycle

1968 Harley Davidson Servi-Car Motorcycle 

The Servi-Car was designed during the Great Depression when Harley-Davidson was desperate to expand its product base to increase sales.  Targeted at the automotive service industry, the vehicle was designed to be towed behind a car to be delivered to a customer; when the car was delivered at its destination, the driver would unhitch the Servi-Car and ride back to the garage.  For this reason, it was available with a tow bar at the front and a large 60 Ah battery.  In addition to its intended use for car delivery and retrieval, the Servi-Car was also popular as a utility vehicle for small businesses and mobile vendors.  They proved to be particularly popular with the police departments, some of which still used Servi-Cars into the 1990s.

For consignment, a former police vehicle turned 3 wheel daily rider from 1968 as a HD Servi-Car with a mere 24,254 title verified actual miles.  Great for that extra storage for selling your goods, or just packing heavily for a road trip, this 3 wheeler is in nice condition.  It has an electric starter and also an alternator for more reliability.

The Bike
With its clear arched visor sporting a red tinted bottom, a trio of running front lighting, large Hydra-Glide chromed forks, black fender and drum braking you will think there is an actual Po Po on your tail when this beauty pulls up on ya!  It has a curvaceous gas tank painted black with chrome trimmings and just behind is an oversized leather bicycle style sprung seat.  In back is the prize with a white fiberglass box for storing whatever, and plenty of it riding on a coil spring setup.  It has 2 wheels and a rear axle to support this box.  A 16-inch wire wheel is in front and black painted steel wheels with moon caps are on back.  The tires have dual thin whitewalls to give it a classic look.   A nice bumper protects the box and 4 round tail lights provide good visibility for these behind you at night.  On the handlebars are all the controls necessary to propel the bike forward and on each is perched a rear view round chromed mirror.  A truly classic looker, with some chutzpah.

Drivetrain
As you sit in the bicycle seat, you'll straddle 750cc' of pure power.  This V-Twin engine has the Harley rumble, shows some slight surface rust on the finned heads and has a 1-barrel carburetor feeding it.  On the back is a 3 speed manual transmission with a reverse gear and dual exhaust.  Drum brakes are on all 3's and all is very good and running just fine.  All gauges are working and it is a great not oft seen looker.

A trike if you will, former Police vehicle used in the early days as a delivery vehicle and promotional tool for Harley Davidson.  This example is very nicely preserved, runs great and looks just fab!
