What Columbia bike would this be on?

[sludgeguy]

I recently picked up this tank, not sure if it would be correct on my 1959 frame.

thanks for any help!

@MrColumbia ?

Mr. Columbia will correct me if I'm mistaken, but I believe that's from a '59 model called the "Fire Arrow."

I thought 1959 Fire Arrow's have this tank.

Not a Fire Arroww. Thunderbolt. I know. I have mens and women's model. 58 is close.

View attachment 439787 I thought 1959 Fire Arrow's have this tank.

I'm lovin' that decorated head badge...mine's not that fancy!

It is more like a 1957 or earlier Fire Arrow or possibly a 1960 girls Torpedo. The 1958 Fire Arrow had the Bermuda Bell so it's not that. The 59 and later are like Sludgeguy shows above.

I took it off of a boys frame, no chainguard though. Definately original bike and tank.
Thank you all for your input.

If you turn this tank upside down it looks like the Rocketeer!
