The National Automobile Museum is thrilled to unveil a brand-new exhibit celebrating one of the most iconic names in motorcycling: Harley-Davidson. Titled “Harley-Davidson V-Twins – Cornerstone of the American Dream,” this immersive showcase is now open and runs through November 15, 2025.

Step inside and explore 31 motorcycles that tell the story of America’s love affair with the open road, featuring bikes from 1919 to 2025. The exhibit is included with general admission or Museum membership—no special ticket required.

A Century of Style, Power, and Innovation

Presented in partnership with local collectors, the Antique Motorcycle Club of America (AMCA), the Comstock Chapter of the AMCA, and Reno Harley-Davidson, this exhibit dives deep into the evolution of Harley-Davidson’s world-famous V-Twin engines and their timeless designs.

From early 20th-century engineering to modern-day performance machines, you’ll find:

1919 61 cu in V Twin

1922 Model J

1941 Knucklehead

1948 FL Panhead

These bikes aren’t just static displays—they represent living history, with a mix of restored showpieces, original survivors, race bikes, customs, and rare entry-level models like the Scat, ST165, CR, and Aermacchi 125.

More Than Just Motorcycles

The exhibit also features a rich collection of Harley-Davidson-branded accessories, garments, and memorabilia, offering a look into the cultural footprint Harley-Davidson has left on American identity—from fashion and advertising to family traditions and pop culture.
