Hey everyone! First I want to wish you all a happy late 4th of July! and hope your all having a good time. I found this bike today and Here is the story behind this model (as i was told) Back In 1953 the Firestone tire company held a promotional give away of 200 imperial Firestone super cruisers. from what i hear 4-5 boys exist and this is the only ladies model to exist. I have both models now so I have a proud his and hers pair. My thought on why there weren't that many girls imperials is... how many girls wanted to send in to Firestone saying how awesome it would be to win this bike :roll: also I don't think chrome was that popular to girls back in those days. well anyway pics or it didn't happen!





and here is my mens as well

Nick.
 
I'm a sucker for chromed framed bikes, not just tanklights.
That is an amazing condition bike....would love to see the wins together. Plz post the pair's group pic.
