Going by that ad, my first bike was a used 24" Sonic Scout back in 1963. The other 24" Evans didn't have the big luggage rack. I remember the red and white stripes on the fenders.
I think the light bracket takes away from the look of the springs so it should go. The seat springs mimic the fork springs so I think it's a good choice.
I remember the red toolbox, but not the shim for the seat post. It's been over 10 years ago.
You've got a lot going on up front. The Columbia guard really balances out the back with the front, IMHO.
That chainguard...
Makes sense the Columbia guard would work well with the Columbia tank. It has the same lines, and gives a weight balance (visually) for the front end. I vote this one or the Zep style guard.Columbia guard is cool, but maybe a bit too bulky

Put it horizontal, and make a double-sided chainguardWhile rummaging through my stuff, I ran across these bread pans that I've had for years thinking I would make.a tank out of them or something. Couldn't resist mocking them up behind the seattube. Not gonna use them, but you never know until you try.
I really don't think I will put anything in this space, but if I do I feel it should have some curve to it. Otherwise it distracts from the beauty of that sweeping curved seattube.

From that angle, #3 looks amazing. However the bottom edge fights the lines of the frame. If you cut out the red cheese-grater portion (I know, blasphemy), that guard would look bananas on that frame.Different votes for each of these chainguards. "Pee Boy" hasn't made up his mind either, but he is ready to celebrate Memorial Day.
