1963 Sears Flightliner - Gift for Father

[LLaurin]

Hello! I am looking for a 1963 Sears Flightliner. My father was born in 1951 and was 12 when he received his bicycle as a gift for Christmas. I would love more than anything to be able to purchase this for him....based off this info it looks like I am looking for a 1963 Sears Flightliner bicycle which was from the Sears catalogue that year. He absolutely loved this bike and unfortunately - only had it for a short while. According to his description when he was telling me the story - it was fully decked out, white wall tires, chrome rims, - chrome everywhere etc. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I only have a girls '63 Flightliner as well. Keep an eye out on eBay because they show up every so often. Most are misidentified as Spaceliners so search for both. A 1963 Flightliner will carry the JC Higgins badge. '63 was the last year of the JC Higgins brand.
