2010 Indian Chief Vintage
T he oldest motorcycle manufacturer in America, Indian was also once the largest maker of motorcycles in the world. The Scout and Chief were its most popular models, with their glory days peaking between 1922 and 1953. But it was all down hill from there, and the company finally declared bankruptcy in 1977.
A company in Gilroy, California manufactured motorcycles badged with the famous Indian name in 1999. They were referred to as "Gilroy Indian" motorcycles. But it too succumbed to bankruptcy in 2003.
Thankfully, a London-based private equity firm resurrected the brand and began producing new models at a facility in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, focusing on design and quality. Today there are four variations of The Chief: The Chief Standard, The Chief Deluxe, The Chief Roadmaster, and the Chief Vintage, whose image gallery appears to the right.
