Description

A large-scale decorative model of a classic American cruiser motorcycle, constructed in the style of an Indian Chief. The piece is hand-assembled from sheet metal and wire components, finished in a two-tone yellow and cream colour scheme. It features several detailed elements including a v-twin engine block, dual exhaust pipes, a front headlamp, and deep-valanced fenders characteristic of the mid-20th-century era. The model is fitted with a black padded vinyl-style seat and two soft synthetic saddlebags with buckle details. It is a static display item with rolling wheels and a fixed floorboard kickstand assembly. A safety warning tag is attached to the underside.

Height: Approximately 30 cm to the handlebars.


Condition report:

The model features an intentionally distressed or patinated finish to simulate age. It shows signs of surface dust and minor wear to the painted and soft components consistent with long-term display. The model appears to be complete with all major components present and intact.
