Larry, the owner of Carson Custom Cycles in Carson City has a 1940 Indian 3 wheeler. I think it was called a Parcel or something like that. Looks to be just about all original. He told me it’s worth in the high five figure range- again because of the rarity factor, most were junked. He actually rides it to the shop once in a while.

Bingo Mike--That's the point why we're here on this message board and keep wiping the oil spots on the garage floor. I still remember the first time I got on and rode a Sportster almost a half century ago. The feeling was the same when I took a ride this afternoon.
Most citizens think we're beaucoup dinky dao, but so what? America still NEEDS nude beaches.

Here's our own Jim Garrett (54 KH 1629 and 54 KH 1395) riding his THREE Indian Patrols. These were Indian Vertical Twins in a 3-wheeler frame with Crosley car rear axles. Indian only made about 50 of these things, and Jim owns THREE of them. I only know of one other one...
