SWEEEEET, now I know a year for my bike. THANK YOU ! ! !

I was told it was prob a late 50s but coud be an early 60s...now I know.
I have a 1969 VW Karmann Ghia this bike will go great with my generic retro bike at the car shows ! ! ! that is when I get my Ghia motor rebuilt.

Thank you again ! ! !

Here is my 50s(?) J.C.Higgins. . . . $10 from Goodwill. As far as I can tell nothing is missing and the only thing that is not stock is the front tire. . . but it is still time correct.

I have this same bike, mine is from 1961.

Here's one I picked up yesterday. Thinking about building a board tracker out of it.

Thanks! It's my favorite bike to be honest. The tires are Bell Streamlines that I got at WallyMart for $10.00 a piece. Yup, I'm a cheapo!

Post a Serial Number on your Flightliner and I will look up the year for you. Leo

Islnder102, your bike by the Serial Number should be a red 1959 boys 26 inch. There were two versions of Flightliners in 1959. The top model was the Fully Equipped Version, and then a cheaper version that was called the J.C. Higgins Equipped Flightliner Bicycle. Your bike was sold for $49.95 and weighed in at 59 pounds.
