Summary
This 1948 Indian Chief, finished in black, was reportedly refurbished in the 1990s by Jerry Greer and John Bevins at Indian Engineering. It was acquired by a Cycle World editor and featured in a 1997 article, with the current seller acquiring it in 2015. The bike shows 1k miles on the odometer, though true mileage is unknown, and has not been ridden since 2015; age cracks are noted on the tires.
