MAN, does this bring memories back>>. parents purchased this bike for me in 49 rode it til entering the Air Force and sold it to a kid in town for $15.00 when I came on leave it was completly trashed. never knew what happen to it. I remember my Dad talking with Mom they paid 50 bucks for it. I loved this bike and kept care of it and nobody ever rode but me.I was always polishing it. I had the best looking bike in town over all the other kids...
