Simplex motorcycles were built in New Orleans until 1960 and are the only motorcycles ever built in the South.
1956 Simplex Automatic Pictures
The 1956 Simplex Automatic was a bare-bones machine that looked out of date even for the 1950s and had an antiquated front suspension -- and no rear suspension.
Other versions of the Simplex included this three- wheeler similar to Harley's Servi-Car.
A single seat spring provided rear suspension.
Evidently, top speed was insufficient to warrant a speedometer, so Simplex didn't furnish one.
