The American icon Steve McQueen often sought anonymity to escape his international celebrity. In around 1977, he bought this 1947 Indian Chief to get away from it all and disappear, for which he had a gift. He slightly transformed it into a Chopper and even gave it a nickname: “the blob” after the film in which he played the leading role. Altered in this way, the Chief didn’t attract as much attention as he intended, in the same way as he used his alias Harvey Mushman for the races in which he took part. King of cool forever.
