Sidecar Sunday

 

 The 1933 model year was one of the lowest production years in Harley history, with only 2671 big twins produced and a total production of 3703 units (includes singles and small twins). Both motorcycles pictured are powered by 74 cu in. sidevalve engines with hand-shift three-speed transmissions. Of the two motorcycles used in the photo shoot, the sidecar model, is the rarest with only 164 being manufactured.

Were the dangling leaves in the foreground superimposed from another photograph? Their presence lends the image a little hint of voyeurism, as if the photographer was hiding in a tree.

Believe it or not they're on a beach in Milwaukee.

Yes they are. There were some outtakes that were deemed too risqué to publish. https://designyoutrust.com/2026/01/harley-davidson-motorcycles-on-a-milwaukee-beach-photographed-in-1933-for-a-beautiful-promotional-shoot/
