Greetings all.
I'm wondering if someone can solve the riddle of what kind of muscle bikes (Schwinn Stingray look-a-likes) did the Goodyear tire stores sell in the early 70's?
In approximately '73 - '74, I had a gold one, and after about a week, someone stole it right off our front porch. The next day, my father took me back to Goodyear on East State Street in Rockford, IL... and got me another one just like it! Over the past few weeks, I've been looking everywhere trying to figure out what kind of bike it was, I even came across a 'Firestone' bike that looked almost identical to it, but nothing. Both my mother and father remember me having the bike, it being gold, stolen, and purchased from Goodyear, so I know my memory is intact on this one.
Any and all help would be great, because yes...at 48 years old, I'd love to have that bike back.
Thanks in advance.
