    Not an Escalade. Moto Guzzi Eldorado or maybe an Ambassador. Either late 60's or early 70's.
    Great bikes run forever. Made in Italy.

    I say Motto Guzzi. Don't know what year but yep; a Guzzi somewhere in the late 60's.

    Most probably a Moto guzzi ambassador, friend gave me one to rebuild for his wife. Belonged to her dad. Had it in shop for 3 years. Turned out nice. Go to Moto Guzzi website with VIN number & they can tell you everything you need to know. Moto Guzzi National Owners Club. MGNOC.com

    YES Ultraglide...that's it...the guy said Eldorado! Blonde moment in saying Escalade! He had just gotten it and was hoping to get it in top shape for riding soon! I absolutely loved the front fender ornament! He was not sure what hood ornament it was but knew it was an "extra"...great bike tho!
    I'd love to see more of them...I am a sucker for the older bikes....My Dad had an Indian but my Mom made him sell it b4 I was born! Would love to have had a pic of that!

    Glad to be of some help.
    Guzzi's are great bikes with a great history. I've owned several of them in the past and if I had enough money to own more then one bike, I would own a bunch now!!
    check out this website.

    Not sure on the "hood ornament" Maybe off a vintage Pierce Arrow???
