Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Belt drive, 1 1 2hp single, battery ignition, carbide headlamp, front and rear brakes. Extremely early, and similar to the California on which George Wyman became the first person to cross the U.S. on a motorcycle or a motor vehicle of any sort. Steve Huntzinger restoration to concours condition. No Reserve. Otis Chandler Collection.

Market commentary

One of very few Californias to survive. The me doesnt have the cachet of Indian, Harley Davidson or Flying Merkel but the vehicle is very early and significant. The price is significant, too.
