I own a 1958 Harley servi-car and I want to paint it the original police paint job. I can't seem to find a picture of the emblum, or even the piant job. If you can help me then I would be gratefull, You can reach me via E-mail...... BlackPanthers_1415@yahoo.com or if you are in Washington give me a call 360-485-7167. Thanks

 

I would find a police dept that had a 58 service car back in the day. That I would like to paint my trike that paint sceam. Try and get pictures from that dept back in the day. Also Harley Davidson puts out a publacation called The Motor Officer. If you can get some back issue's it might have some photos of LEO service cars. Try and contect The Editor and chief Misty Oelhafen at Harley Davidson Motor Company Police and Fleet Sales. P.O. Box 653-3700 W. Juneau Ave Milwaukee, WI 53201

 

 

Call Harley-Davidson Customer Service. I'll bet they could locate the exact specs if they really wanted to.

Not sure just exactly what it is that you mean by "the emblem" but I have many, many pictures of police servi-cars and even an album of police decals. I have literally thousands of photos of servi-cars in general so maybe you will be able to locate something that will help you out.

Birch White late H-D part # 9860'-AV

Police Silver late H-D part # 9860*-X

Birch White and Police Silver were the predominant colors for police use but as I understand it you could order pretty much any color combination of H-D colors that you wished.

Below you will find a link to the 74 page serrvi-car section entitled "Mark That Tire," which has been excerpted from Genat's book Police Servi-cars in downloadable PDF format. If you read the photo captions you will learn the locations of a number police departments around the country that employed the servi-car in large numbers.
