Less than 10 club: Postwar Balloon tire

[rockabillyjay]

So to narrow this down a bit here’s the criteria:

-Postear Balloon tire only

-Less than 10 ORIGINAL examples known (no fabricated bikes for example) restored ok as long as it wasn’t “upgraded”

- Oddball colors don’t count (blue phantom etc)

I know some were covered in the other thread but let’s see if we can narrow it down a bit.

Only one that comes to mind is the JC Higgens 100 but I’m sure I’m missing a bunch

I would think there has to be more than 10 1954 Shelby Golden Eagles, but there sure aren't many posted. I think AMF moved Shelby to Cleveland after they bought them in 1953 and then moved them (along with Roadmaster) to little Rock in 1955, just as the middleweights were sweeping the market, so maybe production on these got cut short in favor of the middleweight version?

@mrg, if there are more than 10 of your Evans/Colson Firebird, I haven't seen them. How many are known?
