1953 When Indian sold the biggest and smallest

image

In 1953 Indian had lots to sell, Big Eighty cube Chiefs, Norton’s, Excelsior, & Vincent to name a few. The centre of attraction in this era is not the big Chief but the lowly Papoose which was only another Excelsior with decals and a Indian horn, still in all there were quite a few machines for this salesman and woman to sell, as in 1949 there was nothing for sale, things seemed to be looking up for the Springfield  company but it took till 1969 till Indian Sales finally ceased.
