Watch this 1947 Indian Chief get detailed. After eight decades, wouldn’t it be awesome if it managed to ride again while looking almost brand new? In WD Detailing’s video on YouTube, the iconic bike from the late forties gets a proper detailing job plus an oil change to see it roll off the lot under its own power.
The Chief nameplate has been around since 1922. Indian Motorcycles introduced the iconic model name to replace the Powerplus, and it has been the company’s big-bore twin-cylinder model, until 1953. It took several decades for Indian Motorcycles to relaunch the nameplate. It was before the turn of the millennium (1999) that Indian decided that it was time for its Chief to ride again. Fast forward more than two decades later, and the model name is still alive and kicking.
