Most nostalgic Harley?

Harley promotes certain bike as old school or nostalgic! So what bike has the most old school looks? Harley Deluxe , Crossbones , Fat boy and Fat boy lo , 48 , street bob... what bike looks the oldest?? I would say its between the Crossbones and the Deluxe!!

Haven't looked at the "newer" bikes, but the FXSTC was definitely 'old school looks'.

I say the Deluxe/Heritage. They both have roots in the 50s-60s style bikes. Take a look at some old pics and you'll swear they were picked out, modernized, and thrown back on the road.

The Deluxe and the Heritage wouldn't be "'60's bikes" per se. More '49-'64 with the Horseshoe oil tank. The Deluxe looks a loot like a '58 Duo-Glide.

The '97-'03 Heritage Springer was designed to look like a '48 Panhead.

The Cross Bones, continues that Post WWII bobber look. The Road King Classic looks similar to a '50's FL.

I have a picture of my mom and dad on their bike in 1950. But for the fancy paint job and a lot more chrome, you would swear it is my Heritage only older.
