Just bought it, anyone know the year. Thinking about leaving it rusty, just replacing rims, tires, and chain.

 
I'm looking for help with this Columbia Torpedo. I just posted this in Fresh Finds. I cannot find any info about this model of Columbia. The serial number appears to be B102092. Were they a tank bike? How many years was this model built?







Your help with information is appreciated. Thanks!

Finally got the 55 Columbia back and unfortunately I had to send the tank and chainguard back to the painter due to excessive orange peel. Should be ready this weekend. But until then I decided to put all of it back together ans the wife was pleased to see it again

I was given a donor "Viking" badge from a Cabe member (thanks Martha) to replace the damaged OG badge.
It needs some adhering but the badge is a good fit for the color of the bike and according to Mr. Columbia it is a period correct badge for Columbia.

Finally all together except for the decals
