Amazing time capsule!
That's the right setup for a tourist style bike. I have a '65 Varsity tourist, and the downtube shifters are just too far of a reach down from the upright seating position.
 
I've always liked Suburbans because let's face it, they're more comfortable than the drop-bar "racing" bikes. What's worse is that Varsities and Continentals were too heavy for real racing, they were basically Suburbans in drag, pretending to be something they weren't. But the touring Varsity was an honest bike and it had more chrome than the Suburban ever had! @bikepaulie, that's a beautiful example! @stingray66, your bikes look very clean too! Did you do the modifications?
