Columbia balloon tire bikes being made. Looks to be late 40's or early 50's.

The good old days...

Great find...

I like the hand painted pin stripes.

Wonder what year they imploded that factory...all gone.

That was wonderful. I love those straight bar frames with the loop seat stays. And those ladys doing the striping give a new meaning to the expression "wham bam thank you mam"! :mrgreen:

We should have a time machine build off...

Very coool Vid

That was very insightful. Westfield is about 20 minutes north of where I live. Not sure if any of the remaining building are still there. My guess is there are some, but they might not be recognizable without some historic direction. The pinstripes applied were very cool! And what has become of good old baked enamel, :shock:
