Firestone Bicycles

[robhac]

I am new to this forum but i am looking for any information on firestone bicycles.
When i was about 13 or so my dad gave me a new orange firestone bike i don't remember to much about it i don,t know the model i know that it was in the 60,s
i belive it was 26 inches bright orange and had chrome fenders it had a big white seat.I think that it had a spring loaded carrier on the back fender.
I am very interested in any information,like the make or model any pictures.
I don't know if it was even made buy firestone or just sold in there stores.
I would very much like to owen one again some day.
If you have any information please email me at ([email protected]

Your Firestone may have been made by Monark, Columbia, Huffy or others. I have seen some Monarks painted orange . Do a search here: http://www.nostalgic.net/

I was going to say it sounds like a Firestone 500... But was it a Middleweight? But if the was 13 in the 60's it wasn't a Monark Built Firestone... I'm thinking it may even be a lightweight with one of those college book holders... AMF built maybe?

1965 firestone bike

I got a firestone bike similar to the one pictured but mine was gold metalflake and the light fixture was a little different. I would still like to find one to this day.

I think Firestones are like Western Flyers, they were made by a few different manufacturers.

I got one. The model is a 'Deluxe Warrior' by Firestone.
