Does this sticker mean anything 24" Huffy Eldorado

[Jamie825]

Got this bike from my neighbor he had another guy drop it off to see if I'd want it and I ended up with it after some negotiation. I don't know the year model or where the ID numbers are I was hoping someone could help me find out.


Had to add the pic with my dog I believe she is wandering why something like this is inside.

Does this sticker represent anything or is it like a toy sticker ?

Cool find. It's similar to the Huffy Camaro I found and posted last week.
Try finding the serial number on the left rear drop out and then check these links.

I'm thinking that it may be a 64 model according to the ID number the links that late for dinner give did not have one that year the ID number is. 4h46628 there may be a 1 at the end but it might be a scratch to

Frame looks similar to the Silver Jet I'm using in the Musclebike Buildoff. That is so complete, excellent restore candidate.

Sure looks to be about 1964, and in great shape for a boy's bike from that period. Even the plastic tank light housing looks good. What's that thing on the front fender?

Yeah I'm thinking of adding a banana seat and a small set of apes for comfort or set the seat back one but I would save my parts because I think it's all original ?

I recall stickers like this back in the day. If the air force had any bikes, they'd be really plain janes. -Adam

My guess on the sticker is something a youth added to the bike years ago to dress it up some. Just like some do today.

It could have been a MWR bike or someones personal bike at Wright Patterson Air Force base

4H...... is 1964.
Cool find. Never have seen a 24" Eldorado.

I have a 66 (6H.....) Eldorado.
Actually it's for sale too.
The Silver Jet is a chromed framed model.
Have one of those too..64 (4H.....)....it too is for sale...sorry for the hijack.

It's all about the Tanklights!!

How did I run out of room so fast?

No problem I would like to find out all I can about these bikes but from what I have read I don't think that they are real valuable ? But they are good looking bikes I think no more than what I have in mine I couldn't have went wrong $40 thought about doing a minor restore

I agree on value.... $40.... Awesome price depending on condition. But the 24" models demand less retail.

These chromed 26" tanklights (Mens) bikes at full retail can be seen and had for $450. But that's full retail IMO.
Wholesale or Pickers prices all vary depending on the model , accessories , and condition.
I have as spent as little as $125 and as much as $400.
On the high end there just isn't enough room to make a profit. But sometimes one just have to have it added to their collection.
