help....is this a real 5 star Columbia

[Ak40]

The 86 reissue version didn't have a front brake or those rims, that headlight, crossbar handle bars and that neck or those pedals! all look 50's OG!, easy tank to find ( repop or og ), painted fenders so probably all painted tank not chrome.

Thank you..very good info.
I appreciate all the help on here

The top-of-the-line model. Unfortunately finding an original paint tank to match could be a real challenge and likely $250-300. If you do find a tank make sure you get the chrome filler piece for the top. Looks like the original seat may be under that cover. V/r Shawn

Thank you .good info

Good Luck finding the tank! As Shawn said they're not Really around. I have a '51 Frame & a later '50s 24" frame that I wanted the tank for too so that's wait it out & pay $250+ like Shawn said as well
