History Trivia:<\/strong> In 1959, a coffee maker was an optional extra in Volkswagen cars. The Hertella Auto Kaffeemachine was the first and only known dashboard-mounted coffee maker. Manufactured in 1959 specifically for the Volkswagen Beetle, it came with porcelain cups which could stick to the machine magnetically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a 1955 Volkswagen Driver’s Education Training Car. This was designed specifically for driver’s education programs. It was equipped with dual steering wheels as well as dual brakes. It also had a padded dash for added safety in case of a collision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here’s another cool accessory for this month. Who can tell me what this is on the dash of a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air? It is the little curved white glass piece. Leave your answer in the comments below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s our 1974 Indian MX74 dirt bike<\/a> and our 1971 Triumph bicycle<\/a>. Both of these manufacturers got their start with bicycles. Triumph was started by Siegfried Bettmann, who had emigrated from Nuremberg, part of the German Empire, to Coventry in England in 1883. In 1884, aged 20, Bettmann had founded his own company, the S. Bettmann & Co. Import Export Agency, in London. Bettmann’s original products were bicycles, which the company bought and then sold under its own name. Bettmann also distributed sewing machines imported from Germany. In 1886, Bettmann sought a more specific name, and the company became known as the Triumph Cycle Company. The “Indian Motocycle Co.” was founded as the Hendee Manufacturing Company by George M. Hendee in 1897 to manufacture bicycles. These were initially badged as “Silver King” and “Silver Queen” brands but the name “American Indian”, quickly shortened to just “Indian”, was adopted by Hendee from 1898 onwards because it gave better product recognition in export markets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prototypes<\/strong>: Here is a 1886 Daimler Four Wheel Automobile (Replica). This vehicle is on display at the Classic Auto Mall<\/a>. This is the world’s first four wheel automobile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riding The Rails:<\/strong> Here’s our 1901 light rail inspection car<\/a>. Made by the Teeter Company of Hagerstown Indiana. Known as a light rail inspection car. The wheels are covered with canvas to; improve traction, reduce noise, and to prevent sparks in the mine with could result in an explosion. Complete with a miner’s lamp with the external acetylene generator. The lens has a metal shield to protect it from flying stones during blasting in the mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Native American Indian Transportation:<\/strong> This month for Native American Indian Transportation, we’re featuring the Indian Motocycle Company. George Hendee, founder of the company, termed it a “motocycle” not a motorcycle. And here’s our 1974 Indian MX74<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These dirt bikes \/ trail bikes were produced when Floyd Clymer and Alan Newman owned Indian Motorcycle Company. They owned the company from 1963 to 1977. Basically these bikes were made by Italjet Moto in Italy and branded with the Indian name on them. Many of these bikes were made in Taiwan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s some history on the Indian name and the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around the turn of the 20th century, bicycle racing was big in the USA. Bicycles would race around big curved tracks called velodromes aided by pacing machines powered by internal combustion engines. These pacers were made in Europe and often broke down. A young designer named Oscar Hedstrom built his own American pacer. He met up with a racer named George Hendee who had his own bicycle manufacturing plant in Springfield, MA. The two combined forces and created a bicycle powered by an engine developed by Hedstrom. Thus was born the Hendee Manufacturing Company and the Indian motorcycle. They chose the name Indian since it would signify an American product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

George Hendee became known as the Big Chief (B.C.) and Oscar Hedstrom became known as the Medicine Man. The factory was called the Wigwam and the dealer network was called the Tribe. The company finally changed its name from the Hendee Manufacturing Company to the Indian Motocycle Company in 1923.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
