I love my 1941 Chevy and today a friend dropped past with his 1941 Sport Scout, a one-year only bike and pretty rare.



With the Art Deco Chevy, this gorgeous bike and the launch of the best film of all time was this as good as it got? Smile

I thought it was a pretty crap year: I was three years old and spent most of my day wondering why I was being thrown on to a mattress in an Anderson shelter every time a siren went. And noisy... Laughing Laughing

Yes, well noted Embarassed

I suppose I was talking about designs - and American designs at that, given that 1941 was still pre war across the pond Wink

Have to agree. American design at that time was really fantastic and I'd almost forgotten they were late for the war. Probably too busy designing. Wink

You were lucky Pigtin! That was the year I caught pneumonia in our Anderson Shelter!

By the way is that bike a V4 2stroke? It rather looks like it. If it is it must be unique.

Great looking truck! I was not born until 1953.
