IMEX Harley Davidson High Grade El Type 1936 Model 1/12 Scale

The 1936 EL is in many ways, the prototype of all Harley Davidson's to follow. It ushered in the "modern" era of the motorcycle. While in retrospect, we see the ‘36 EL as the mother of today's motorcycles, its commercial introduction was met with minimal fanfare and as equally little publicity. One reason was, the ‘36 EL, was a prototype bike, and as such, underwent a variety of changes in its first year alone. Given the motor company's reputation of evolutionary and not revolutionary changes, HD wanted to insure the motorcycles integrity and relaibility before any publicity was attached to the model.
