This came my way via trade over a year ago. It sat patiently waiting it's turn and be semi-cannibalized for other projects. It was completely torn down and thoroughly cleaned and re-greased be for reassembly but the natural patina/crustiness it's acquired over it's lifetime was left alone...
I got this in a trade during last years MBBO and thought about entering it then. I was knee deep in refurbishing my '65 Wildcat and '65 Stingray for last years contest so I decided to mothball the Huffy and run out the clock. There wont be anything fancy done to this, just a good cleaning...
I know I have not posted here much lately, and I am sorry. This is a cool place!
At the Fairborn swap over the weekend, I bought a bunch of parts I needed, but I also bought this girl...pretty ain't she? In my opinion, this is actually a somewhat rare combination. Deluxe 1955 Huffy Customliner...
Picked this up at Iola, WI old car show and swap. Serial starts with 6H so I believe it is 1946 model. Oldest bike I've owned. Seems like a Huffy Mainliner built for Gambles stores. Bike has very rotten middleweight 26" tires. Fender clearance seems tight for 2.125 rubber, were they building...
I just love these old cruisers
I was lurking here the other night, and was looking at a thread, "Show us your Cranbrooks," something like that I believe, and there were some entries posted "I have a Good Vibrations, same bike basically " Maybe the new ones are, I don't know, but they are...
I posted this bike a few months back kind of in a mock up form. I had pretty much abandoned the project because of some personal problems I had to resolve. Well, in the last week, I decided it would be a good idea to get started on it. Honestly, I finished this thing a lot faster than I...
Hi- I have a 1950s Huffy Tandem (the curvy frame style) needing a chainguard. I see many 1970s Huffy tandems (straight tube frames) availlable; are the mounting points the same between the 2 styles?
I found a Huffy on Craigslist for $20 awhile back with plans to build it up as my "nice" cruiser. I wanted to try and run wild with it, but I never got around to it. I had too many bikes that needed to be fixed and sold and in that time, I found an Electra cruiser for free (I might post that...
Late Friday night I spotted an ad on Craigslist for old bike parts and called to inquire first thing Saturday morning. The owner had to work all day so we agreed to meet at his place that night to check the stuff out. It turns out that he is a member here but doesn't ever post. He's a great...

I picked up from Wendell (a machinist down the street who decided to buy lots of bikes from auction and sell them) a really ragged and limping along Huffy for $10, along with a triple tree fork he had for another $10 (which i added to a firmstrong chief cruiser) so... $20 and away I went. I...
Picked up a China Huffy Cranbrook frame. Put some mismatched vintage wheels and tires on it and peeled off the stickers. Rode OK. but wanted to try a "LocoJoe" type chop.
Here it is.
Uhh, got a little carried away with the disc grinder!
Memo to self, Next time remove chain guard before...
