The fourth film in the series, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull stars Harrison Ford, Shia LaBeouf, Cate Blanchett and a 2007 Harley-Davidson Softail Springer Classic.
The bike is featured in a chase scene with Indiana Jones (Ford) riding as a passenger behind sidekick Mutt Williams (LaBeouf) through a college campus. The chase was filmed at Yale University, including a segment that takes place inside the school’s Sterling Memorial Library.
The Motor Company supplied five motorcycles for the movie, each modified to reflect the film’s 1957 period setting. Two of the bikes will be on display at the Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Museum, opening July 12 in Milwaukee.
