New Cool 1930 Art Deco Henderson Bike



Art Deco influence is obvious, the legendary car designer Harley Earl has drawn cart. It is even more unusual because the drive is hidden: the top of the Art Deco movement, was most engines a triumph of form over function, with visible fins, suspension and brake drums.
The bike is owned by collector Frank Westfall Syracuse. It caused a stir in June 2010, when he first appeared on the Rhinebeck Grand National Meet held a bike show for a few hours drive north of New York. Mortillaro Grail (of a helicopter Knucklebusterinc blog) had a camera in hand so we thank him for these photos.
Mark Henderson was Chicago and the 'Big Three' U.S. (with Harley-Davidson and Indian) to the start of the Great Depression. It went bankrupt in 1931. But you can see the effect of streamliner'til style "a contemporary North American brand-win. If it is the spiritual successor to Henderson's own Victory Vision Tour giant cruiser with fully enclosed body and no leather or Tasse in sight.
