In 1954, several Parillas were imported into the United States to test the market for interest. Several years later, Cosmopolitan Motors of Philadelphia, Pa. was established as the main importer of Parilla motorcycles to the United States. They started selling Parillas in 1956-57 and sold a dozen different models over the years. After the Parilla company went into receivership in 1963, Cosmo bought leftover company inventory from various sources and continued to sell & service Parillas for another couple of years. The best guess for total Parilla motorcycles exported to the US was about 2000. Below is a short summary of all Parilla models with factory pictures and current owner's bikes.
