jan 1, 1947 - New Plant

Description:

Attendees at the year's Dealers Convention in Milwaukee are given a train ride to a "secret destination", which turns out to be the newly purchased plant on Capitol Drive. The plant was formerly the A.O. Smith Propeller Plan, created during the war. Harley-Davidson uses the plant as a large machine shop, shipping the new parts to Juneau Ave. for final assembly.
