Riding a '37 Fleetwood
this bike is available to a good home. I'm asking $2500obo minus the propeller.
it's a 1939 Huffman made Firestone Flying Ace. they were made only one year, and are very rare. the tank is integrated into the frame of the bike. it's rough, but not terrible, and has a really nice look to it. I'm almost certain it's a repaint, I don't think these came in black, though it does look good this way. it has a bunch of aftermarket fork darts all over it. by the look of them, they've been on it for at least 60 years or more.
there are a very few things left to correct. first, the truss rods are not correct. they fit well and look good, but they are not Huffman.
second, these normally came with a drop stand. I'm not sure if any came with a kick stand, but this has a fairly typical Huffman type kick on it at present.
finally, the seat is very nearly correct, but I'm not certain if it is truly correct.
I got the bike in pieces, and had to add about half. I've done what I could to preserve it's cool near original look, and think I've succeeded pretty well. it rides great and looks amazing.
