Colson Flyer?

[sfgascott]

I found some pics in my grandmother’s photo album today. They are dated 1942. It’s my grandparents, their friend, and my dad on a bike. From what I have found it looks to be a Colson Flyer. If you know different, please let me know.

Looks to be a 1941 Colson looptail. Very cool!

He could be getting a wedgie, sitting on that rack. May be an involuntary reaction.

I've had many bikes with bent racks, probably from riding the fat kid around on the back and jumping off curbs.

I wonder if Colson designers thought about that when making the "pre-bent" rack.

Maybe a Flying Ace? Bike has no curved fender braces.

Could be. That's the closet catalog pic I could find.

I picked up this crusty girl's '41 a while back. Same straight fender braces.

Headbadge in photo doesn't appear to conform to either of the two styles of Flyer headbadges in the attached sampling. Could even have a badge from a local store, who knows?
