314 cc SV single-cylinder engine.
The miniature Mustang represented the way many Americans first found themselves, on two wheels and under power. It was extremely basic and was designed for running around town, with 12-inch wheels and limited suspension. Transmissions were hand- or foot-shift, while motors were proprietary side-valve singles.
Built in Glendale, California, by John Gladden, from 1945–1963, the example on offer has been charmingly restored as a tribute to the U.S. Army Harley-Davidsons of WWII. It is fitted with a windshield, saddlebags, an aa-oo-gah horn, a scabbard for a dummy carbine, and it is painted in military drab with insignia. Indicating only 768 miles, it could have many July Fourth parades in its future.
