About the Photos

Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Most were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

Dad's Indian: 1950s

Dad's Indian: 1950s

My dad had this awesome Indian motorcycle while he was in high school. He admits it made him popular with the ladies at Maury High in Dandridge, Tennessee. He does, of course, wish he still had it. I do, too! View full size.

He's a looker

This shot should most definitely be in your Handsome Rogue section. Love the bike too!

 

Brandoesque

Wow!

Hubba Hubba Hubba! It was the whole package that the ladies fell in love with. He should have been in movies!

 

Nice bike!

That's a nice Indian and your dad must have been popular with the ladies. It's nice to see a picture close to home since Dandridge isn't too far from where I live now.

 

Just sayin'

Tom of Finland would've LOVED this.

 

Gearhead Headgear

I bet the aviator's cap didn't hurt either.
