Went antique and thrift store shopping today. Came home with the following...

Ads from magazines

hi wheel model

Next a couple things I didn't bring home but thought were cool...
Old exercise bike

The front bike is a Free Spirit "physio something or another". Single speed coaster brake. Thought it was kinda unusual. I would have brought it home but they were asking waymore than I was willing to spend.

Cool finds. FYI the bike in the first picture is a standard model 36/37 Shelby Airflow.

Nice finds. It's ironic how I have two ads like yours that I purchased from an antique store too. :shock:

Forgot to mention I also saw a John Deere mixte and a Schwinn Fastback both for more than I'm willing to spend. The Fastback in decent shape was $499.

He has a siren. The handlebars in that position was the cool thing in the "50's". I don't remember that, but someone told me that.
