Western Flyer Score

[user 13947]

Scored this off of Facebook today for $30. Looks like it's been repainted, missing the badge. Any idea of year (or how to date it), model, value? There is a WF on the frame somewhere he said. Will be a fun summer project with some beer drinking involved. TIA!

Looks like 1960's. Built for Western Auto by Huffy, I don't know if anyone knows for sure how to date Huffy or Flyer numbers.

Latest of '60s, early 70s I'd reckon...that frame/rack/guard were common in that era. The serial number should give an idea...should start with an 'HC#' or 'H#' or '#H'. The number sign should be the last digit of the year. The decade has to be deduced by equipment/style/etc.

Here is a pic of three Huffy Camaros, a '70 and two '69s...yours was a lower model but you can see all the shared components...
