Motorcycle Overview
FROM THE DICK SHAPPY COLLECTION: The 1911 Yale American Single
The Yale motorcycle was built by the Consolidated Manufacturing Company in Toledo, Ohio after they acquired the rights to the California motorcycle.
George Wyman's 50-day ride across the U.S. in 1903 on a California was the first such journey by any motor vehicle. The owners of the California Motor Company thought it was a perfect time to sell out and made a deal with the Consolidated Manufacturing Company. There were copyright issues with the California name, so the brand name was changed to Yale-California. The first Yale was identical to California, but in 1906, it revealed a much-improved design.
The American was produced from 1911 to 1914 in Chicago, Illinois. Motorcycle brake and hub manufacturer A. J. Musselman founded the company and purchased motorcycles wholesale from established manufacturers Yale, Armac, and Thiem. He then sold them as the "American" or called them "Chicago American."
This very rare 100% original paint example is in remarkable condition, and it possesses the very rare Breeze carburetor.
