The 1953 Chief is noted for its sculpted sweeping fenders, massive torque, smooth ride and end of the line "heritage". There were only 600 of these motorcycles produced in 1953. This bike is considered by many a crowning achievement to a company that is as American as apple pie. The bike is fitted with its original 1300 cc engine and three speed transmission. The engine block is stamped with the serial number CS6790. The odometer reads 18,406 miles.

The bike was professionaly restored over 35 years ago. The engine turns over but has not been tested.
