Jerry Lee Lewis & Myra - HD Duo Glide - Memphis TN USA 14 June, 1958 photo

Description

A superb and rare photo of
Jerry Lee Lewis and his cousin and future wife Myra and his 1958 Harley-Davidson Duo Glide – motorcycle.
This photograph was taken in Memphis, Tennessee on the 14th of June, 1958.
In 1948 H-D introduced the OHV
Panhead
engine model series.  The
Hydra Glide
, which followed a year later in 1949, also featured the new Panhead engine but it had something completely new to offer: the
Hydra Glide
hydraulic suspension front fork.  In 1958 the Hydra Glide was succeeded by the
Duo Glide
, which is shown on the photo that the winner of this auction will receive.  It is a gorgeous photo, showing an unusual but pretty scene of the first Duo Glide.
Unlike the Hydra Glide, the Duo Glide did not have a rigid rear end.  It featured however a swingarm with two hydraulic shock absorbers.  This wasn’t the only novelty on the Duo Glide, it also featured a hydraulic rear brake, a new oil tank, and engine wise it received a stronger transmission and clutch and a number of other small modifications like stiffer valve springs and larger cylinder head fins.
This is a very nice and very rare
non period
photo that reflects a wonderful era of Harley ‘s motorcycle history in a wonderful way. This is your rare chance to own this photo, therefore it is printed in a nice large format of ca. 8" x 11.5" (ca. 20 x
29 cm
). It makes it perfectly suitable for framing!
