Harley Davidson FL Hydra Glide Police Special as built from 1949 to 1958

I can't see this as anything else but a Harley.

Vu l'année du film il s'agit d'une Hydra Glide

Munster, Go Home!

Le bambole

Appears to be rigid frame so is pre-1958. Fourche télescopique et pas de suspensions arrière donc Duo Glide (CQFD)

Harley Davidson FL Hydra Glide with foot shift, so built between 1952 and 1958.

Earth vs. the Spider

la photo est assez floue mais on reconnait l'Harley-Davidson Hydra Glide Je profite de cette image pour signaler que l'orthographe exacte est "Hydra Glide" ou Hydra-Glide" et non Hydraglide

Well the others listed here are all "Hydraglide," one word, so...

Road Runners

Earth vs. the Flying Saucers

Une Hydra Glide (avec sa fourche hydraulique)

Bewitched EP: 2.14

1965 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Convertible. That small emblem on the front fender makes it a Monza versus a Corsa. It's for the bike.

Changement de vitesse au réservoir et pas de suspensions arrières ce n'est pas une Electra mais une Hydra Glide

With a little bit of translating from francisharley's comment, this is a Hydra Gilde because it has a shifter tank and no rear suspensions.

Plunder Road

Harley-Davidson FL Hydraglide. Date early to mid 1950s? 1957 Ford Custom in the same capture.

La reina de España

To be historically accurate, these would be FL Hydra-Glides. RHS has a hardtail frame and hand clutch so '52-57 (58 had rear shocks = Duo-Glide)

This bike has no rear suspension so it must be a Hydra Glide (1949-58) - no Electra Glide until 1965.

Where Angels Go Trouble Follows!

Harley-Davidson modèle Hydra Glide avec changement de vitesse au réservoir. L'Hydra Glide (fourche hydraulique à l'avant) apparait en 1949 et le sélecteur au pied en 1952 donc modèle compris entre 1949 et 1951 CQFD

Tales of the Rat Fink

Most likely a Harley-Davidson, as an Indian would have the deep-valanced front fender. No other American motorcycle manufacturers were making police bikes by the 1950s.

MonsterQuest EP: 2.02

Harley Davidson. Vu les sacoches cloutées et l'absence d'amortisseurs je pense qu'il s'agit d'une Hydra Glide

The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking

Are there any other views of it? Of course: Looks to me like a 1932 Model R. this (these) front fork in 1932 ? With those forks it is no earlier than 1949. It has a side valve engine. Just need to sort out what model it is.

Seen in a movie Jethro is watching in a theater. Harley-Davidson Hydra Glide (???) beaucoup modifiée Il s'agit du film "The wild one" /vehicle_140561-Harley-Davidson-Hydra-Glide.html

Yes, that's apparently it all right, thanks Francisharley.

The Secret War of Harry Frigg

Harley 750 WLA? It looks like a Harley but it has telescopic front forks which only appeared in 1949, so is probably a later model bike masquerading as a WW2 model.

Je pense qu'il s'agit d'une Hydra Glide "militarisée" (excusez moi pour ce néologisme)

Homer won this motorcycle in a dance contest, but unfortunitely he doesn't know how to ride a motorcycle so Bart teaches him. I think that it shoud onley gett 3 stars because it was onley used in one episode

Code Two

Vanishing Point

Deux types de moto de police sont visibles dans le film: l'Hydra Glide sans suspensions arrières et l'Electra Glide avec suspensions arrières En conséquence il y a du tri à faire dansles commentaires de l'Electra Glide

Panic in the Streets

This movie is dated 1950 and Harley only put telescopic forks on their bikes for the first time for 1949 so these must be near new 1949 Harley-Davidson Hydraglides - FL models I presume.

Harley-Davidson HydraGlide from the 1949-57 era. Un side-car de l'armée américaine conduit par un soldat allemand

Roadside Prophets

Harley Davidson FL Hydra Glide as built between 1952 (first year with foot shift) and 1958.

In the movie he says it's a 1957 BTW, it's a 5* because: It's used a lot by the main character of the movie from the beginning to the end of the film (only for this 4****) but also main character uses it to carry with him his fellow's ashes (owner of the other Harley) and that's the reason of the movie...his trip across Nevada

The Misadventures of Merlin Jones

Harley-Davidson FL Duo Glide ?

There is no sign of rear suspension so I think it is a pre-1958 Hydraglide.

All electric had stopped Harley-Davidson EL Police (1950-) This front fender shape is from 1950. seen being used in a scene 2-stars not 1.!! another partial motorcycle seen (possibly not the same type harley?) vu la fourche avant je pense à une FL Hydra Glide

la dernière photo (avec la harley au second plan) semble être une WL flathead ou une WLA transformée pour la Military Police

Coluna Norte

Harley Davidson FL Police, I think it is a Hydra GLide (1949-1957) because of the leather saddle bags visible in picture /vehicle_422623-Volkswagen-Kombi.html. The later Duo Glide usually had polyester cases

Creature with the Atom Brain

Harley Davidson FL Hydra Glide Police Special as built from 1949 to 1958

Mission: Impossible EP: 4.14

It is probably supposed to represent something 'foreign' but it is actually a Harley-Davidson Hydra-Glide 1949-on. We can't see the back half so it might even be a Duo-Glide.

The Twilight Zone EP: 5.18

The other two bikes are accounted for on this site but not this one for some reason. I assume it's Harley-Davidson like the other two? Harley-Davidson FL Duo Glide as built from 1958 to 1965 The one on the right is not yet listed I believe, it's a Harley-Davidson Hydra Glide as built from 1949 to 1958. I suppose that three bikes were used in this episode, we have page for each, here are the two others: /vehicle_127559-Harley-Davidson-Duo-Glide.html /vehicle_127558-Harley-Davidson-FL-Duo-Glide.html These two are then the left & middle ones here above?

Yes, that would be correct. So now we have all three.

The Loveless

All seem to be the same bike, but one was send as Duo Glide and the other one as Hydra Glide (and was previously listed as Electra Glide) Il s'agit de l'Hydra Glide (sans suspensions à l'arrière) avec moteur Panhead Une autre Harley Davidson Hydra Glide (logo résevoir différent, ...)

2 X Lincoln Continental Convertible 1965 il s'agit des motos Harley-Davidson Electra-Glide Police

Unless you know what you are talking about, maybe it would be better to refrain from commenting on motorcycle identification. The Harley-Davidson on the left is a 1200cc Hydra Glide. That round front fender medallion was added to models made in Harley's 50th anniversary, dating this example's manufacture to precisely 1953. The one on the left is a later model Harley-Davidson 1200cc Duo Glide, judging from the shape of the front fender tip, which was available from 1959 to 1966.

Counting Cars EP: 4.15

Here are more snapshots from this episode:

Up in Smoke

It is a Harley-Davidson. Let's wait for Jun to tell us the exact model and sidecar manufacturer. What are you waiting for? This front fork is from 1949 ('Hydra Glide' is named from this fork) and Sidecar is factory original. ...but from these pictures I can't pick four of one. Four candidates are Harley-Davidson ES, FS, ELS or FLS. (now A.M.4:00 good night)

Excellent as usual! Good night, Jun!

Highway Patrol EP: 1.03

Electra-Glide? L'Electra Glide n'est sortie qu'en 1965 Vu la période de la série je pense qu'il s'agit d'une Hydra Glide (de 1949 à 1958) ou d'une Duo Glide (de 1958 à 1965) As this is in the first season of a series beginning in 1955 it is reasonable to assume that this bike is no later than 1955. It would then be a Hydra-Glide.

Vu l'année de sortie du film il s'agit d'Hydra Glide Harley. La Duo Glide n'étant apparue qu'en 1958

Coneheads

Harley-Davidson avec un sigle Indian? Front fender looks like harley Harley-Davidson HydraGlide (1956) may be repainted & seems FL. The year can be fixed from the tank emblem. Can't be a Hydra-Glide.....it has rear shocks.....Duo or something newer made to look old 3 Stars,Near The End This Is Seen Speeding Out Out Of The Conehean place,And The Cops Chase The Hydra Glide

It is a harley Davidson Duo glide not a hydra glide.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Fat Boy, I guess. Il s'agit d'une Hydra Glide (produite de 1948 à 1958) A 64 model, Logan said in the film.

Actually, the bike in the movie is a Harley FL Duo Glide, as noted by the fact that it not only has the hydraulic telescoping front forks from the Hydra Glide but also dual swingarm mounted shocks in the rear, making it a fully suspended chassis. The bike shown in the publicity photos posted by francisharley are of a Hydra Glide, due to the rigid frame, but this is not the same bike used in the movie.
