The RE Indians were exported with the Indian badges begining in 1955 although Royal enfield motorcycles were being sold by Indian dealerships as early as the late 1940s. John Brockhouse ended up with control of the Indian Sales Corporation after he aquired it from recievership in late 1953. He contracted with Royal Enfield to build models similar to ones thay had already been making, only subtle changes to mudguards, handlebars, etc. to accomodate the American operated dealership's requirements. This arangement lasted till 1959 when AMC purchased Mr. Brockhouse's interest in the Indian Sales Corporation. The AMC owned Indian Sales Corp then started marketing there own Matchless brands for a while untill they became financially insolvent.
I have never seen a Trailblazer with this much chrome before, in person or in advertisements. My 1958 Trailblazer is the usual Indian red tank, fenders, & toolbox with black painted frame & fittings. Some of the Chief models have been fetching over $7000 US but only if in very good condition. RE Interceptors seem to be the biggest seller in the $8000 or more catagory, especially the series II models. I think the prices will go up as intrest in the Brit Bike market gains popularity.
