My Grandfather had one of these.  Same color, same year.  Watch/listen to the first movie!  Unfortunately, its only 15 sec. long.

Why didn't Henderson do something like this rather than a Harley look-alike?

Sorry, I was unclear.  Henderson attempted a come back a few years ago.  They used a big V-twin and styling ques from HD.  I just thought a little outside the box thinking (maybe a straight 4) would have given them a better shot.

My Uncle Burl use to race Indian Scouts and Harley's. Won several Daytona beach races and traveled the country for Indian..

He told me of street racing Henderson's.

Said they would turn real good in one direction,, the other direction it wanted to lay down.

Engine rotation..

Bet'cha it would sound good with boom tubes.
