1955 Huffy Customliner - One owner all original

[kingfish254]

I think this may just be my nicest score ever in terms of completeness and original condition goes!

I got this one from craigslist 2 hours away in Jacksonville, FL. Talked with the 70 year old owner and it turns out he got this bike for his 9th or 10th birthday and has owned it ever since. It appears to be a 1955 Huffy Customliner and I don't think I have ever owned a bike with better original condition. It just blows me away that this is a single owner 62 year old bike.

Here are the craigslist pics

Found this from the 1955 Huffy Catalog

Here is a Riverstreet walkaround video of my one owner original 1955 Huffy Customliner. This bike is freaking amazing and an excellent ride too.
Even the 62 year old tires held up well for a 2.5 hour ride around town this weekend.

I love my city of Savannah! Where else can you find this variety of photo ops and cool backdrops on one bike ride.
Bring your bikes down to Savannah and ride!!!!
