Found this vintage bike pic in a google image search. It was from an obituary where someone shared a pic of the man that passed. I wonder if this old Higgins is still around Savannah somewhere?

I had found this pic last year from the 1910s-1920s of young boy with his bike near Baldwin Park on Victory Drive here in Savannah. I tried to recreate it with Speed Demon.

Here's mine, 1963. My dad put this together. His photo is on the left, taken by my Uncle.
