A fourth straight year at No. 1 nationally is the headline claim here, and it shows how Harley-Davidson wanted buyers to see the brand: as a proven leader. The company, founded in Milwaukee in 1903, spent much of its history competing with Indian, its main American rival, and sales boasts like this one were a common way to win that contest. The advertisement reflects how motorcycles moved from a niche machine toward a lasting symbol of American road travel.
