The 1937 Model 100 Panther motorcycle was the last year of the "Redwing" Model 100 and was in many respects similar to the previous two years' models with the 6.5:1 compression ratio, 87 x 100 mm, ohv sloper engine featuring the deeply finned sump and improved lubrication introduced in 1935. The gearbox was Burman BAP and the forks Webb heavy duty. The major change this year was the introduction of a fully chromed fuel tank with red and black lined cream forward panels and a new full colour snarling Panther's head logo[1]
