I've looked all over for any information on a 1944 Flathead 74 cubic inch with absolutely no luck. Anybody know anything about this model?

 

Short answer...yes, but not sure of total production numbers. For 1944 MoCo produced the Model 44-UL 74 cu in twin, high compression solo and the Model 44-U 74 cu in twin, medium compression.

 

According to the Encyclopedia of HD,/Peter Henshaw&Ian Kerr,2006 Regency House Publ./ there were flatheads in 1944:
44U medium compression,4 speed
44UL ,high comp.4speed, both 74 ci
Prices: U-$385, UL $385
Production: U-580, UL- 1366

Here ya go! I just got home from the auction. We were told it was one of 497 civilian models, but I have no idea if that is true.
