Rack is wrong color... but you knew that...

Tha handlebars & grips are uncharacteristic of that model.

Sweet. Looks like it was well used and well loved. The pristine ones make me kinda sad, they belonged to some child that never got a chance to ride it.

I thought you were talking about the Edsel...I kid, I kid.

Little known fact, Rodney Dangerfield was Henry II's best friend and got his "no respect" bit from Henry II making fun of Edsel's constant complaining about getting no respect.
