Evel Knievel in Advertising

Back to Evel Knievel's home | Back Evel ADs page 1.

The above ad was actually part of a sales brochure for Harley-Davidson in 1975. The cover featured Evel doing one of his famous wheelies. The inside spread featured Evel and Harley's 1975 line up.

Back in 1975 I wrote Evel a letter and sent him a picture that I drew of him. In return, Evel sent me this autographed Harley-Davidson brochure. | Ad for Evel's shark jump in Chicago. He made a practice jump and cleared the 90 foot gap, but unfortunately crashed upon landing and injured himself. He was unable to perform that stunt in front of the public that night.
