This is the last of three motorcycle's in the Dimestore Dreams line. They call this version a "service cycle" and would have been used as a delivery service for most, but it hits home a bit differently for me. Back in the '50s and '60s my dad rented garage space from a neighbor lady and her son Jack would always come to collect the rent. Jack was a pretty good guy. He had cerebral palsy and walked with a kind of ungainly gait, dressed just like Marlon Brando in The Wild One, and drove a Harley just like this! Jack liked to travel so that rear cargo bin was perfect for holding his luggage while on the road. I seem to recall his cycle as being white. My sample had another red driver (hmmm, now I wonder if Dimestore Dreams did make a white driver as shown on the box art???). Anywho - Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Dimestore Dreams - Pt 18 No. 20310 Motorcycle Sidecar and Rider
This is the second of three motorcycles produced by Dimestore Dreams and features a beautifully done sidecar. I absolutely love the color this came in! The driver pictured on the box art is dressed in white but the one included in my set was all red. I'd have to do a little research but I'm not sure if Auburn produced a motorcycle with sidecar. That's okay, because Dimestore Dreams did!! Enjoy! Opa Fritz
