Special? Eh?
I don't know what this year this ad appeared.
Judging by the tank decals I might have guessed 36-39 but I didn't know that the aluminium heads were that early. Anyone know just when it was that the #6 heads came out?
Also the clutch release arm thing looks off? I'm used to seeing only the army issue one that's triangular (sorta) at the bottom.
And the 'deep-finned' cylinders'; was this a special part to this model only.?
And the 'large manifold like the WLDR'.......... a special thing (p/n wise) perhaps?. Same ? on the plug wrench.
Or were these things made standard issue on all later 45's?
Noting the I-beam front end I'm gonna guess 'yes'.
Not having a 45 parts book for myself............................
I note the 'plenty of smoke' line............. for confounding the closing competition aft no doubt.
At first glance I thought it said The WILD Special.
