<strong>A 1936 Indian Dispatch-Tow.</strong>
</font>
</p>
<p>According to Harry V. Sucher in his history of Indian, <i>The Iron Redskin</i>, the <a title=”Indian Dispatch-Tow” href=”http://www.motorcycleclassics.com/classic-american-motorcycles/1936-indian-dispatch-tow.aspx” target=”_blank”>Indian Dispatch-Tow</a> became a reality in the early 1930s, inspired by the needs of a car dealership only a few doors away from the Indian factory.</p>
<p>As Sucher relates it, the Dispatch-Tow was the result of discussions between Indian’s upper management and the owner of the Springfield Packard dealership. In order to provide better service to his Packard customers and reduce wasted time and money, the dealer wanted to find a simple way of ferrying customer cars back and forth from the customer’s home to the garage. He was tired of sending two men in one car, only to have them both come back to the garage, to be sent back out again after the repairs were made. Fact or fiction, it’s hard to know. One thing owners of this unique bike know for sure is that it’s a lot of fun to ride as these two videos demonstrate: </p>
