New here but have owned a sidecar for over 5 years. Bought it new - but NEVER mounted it. Sold the bike. It is a Northwest sidecar Cargo car made in Boise. Joining to find out more info on cars made by Northwest Sidecars in Idaho and Washington. I think they mainly sold Velorex and mounted cars to bikes for people. Any pictures of other sidecars that they made?? Thanks

Steve,Β  WELCOME to the greatest show on Earth.Β 

I have seen a couple of Northwest Sidecars listed in for sale ads in just the past year.Β  I will now begin the search for more information.Β 

Tell us about Steve Schiller. Where do you live,Β  what bike are you planning to attach this sidecar to,Β  etc...?

Steve, as my friend and buddy Thane has pointed out, we may be neighbors. I live just outside Tenino, up on Churchill Rd SE, about 2 miles from my ranch to the very center of Tenino.

I am in Germany right this minute, having shipped one of my Sidecar rigs to Germany. I will be back in Tenino on Wednesday afternoon.

Β Β  Well - Neighbor - Been on Churchill rd many times as long time friends lived near what was the end of that road. I am north of there near Offutt Lake. Been hear for over 45 years. That would be almost 5 miles straight north of you. Except for a couple of gates, could even ride between the two locations.
