Were all boy's Flightliners originally red and girls that aqua color?

[Squablow]

I've searched around on the web for a while but can never seem to come up with an answer. Seems like every boy's Flightliner I've ever seen was originally red with a white tank, or chromed with a red tank, and all the girl's were that aqua/turquoise blue-green color. Did they offer different colors? Just curious.

I have a 59 Flightliner that is a starburst paint from the factory. As far as the girls, does seem your pretty much right on that one.

Cool, would love to see a picture of that if you have one.

This is really the only shot I have of it. I've left it in "as found" condition. Love my things telling the story of they're lives when at all possible.

Is that similar to the Coppertone Schwinn?!

No, there's more red and orange in it then appears in the pic.

Either way, really nice color!

I'm pretty sure that's a faded red one. I have seen several that spent a lot of time in the sun and the red faded in places to a more coppery color. Your fork still looks red.

No, it's the starburst.

Found out my bike is a '62 and was originally Flambouyant Red/White so I decided to go back to that. Here's some before and after pics, gonna post these in a couple other spots too but figured I'd give an update.

Your Flightliner turned out extremely nice. I'm sure you have a lot of hard work and time in it but WoW is looks so nice.
