Summary
This 1942 Harley-Davidson WLA "Liberator" is a WWII-era military motorcycle, based on the civilian WL model, that underwent a refurbishment before being acquired by the selling dealer in 1998 and has since been mostly on display. It features a 45ci flathead V-twin, hand-shifted three-speed transmission, and is finished in olive drab with white US Army–style markings, complemented by a brown leather rifle scabbard, solo saddle, and saddlebags. Recent maintenance in January 2025 included a tune-up and battery replacement, with the engine started for the first time since the late 1990s.
