Picked this up on CL for cheap a few years ago. Junky, but serial number says 1964 Typhoon.

Bought a girls cruiser with aluminum wheels, fat whitewalls and 3 speed Nexus hub recently to pirate parts from (also for cheap) ;) , specifically to build this:

Added a few parts. Thinking about painting it an appropriate hotrod candy color, maybe red? Hugger orange? Plum Crazy? :)
 
Rode the bike around Mission Bay Park Saturday, about 15 miles. Worked out well. Currently running a 21 cog for the Nexus. Sheldon Brown had the opinion that with a 3 speed , the highest gear should be the cruiser gear. He may be right about that. So, the 24 cog goes on before the next ride.
