Let's talk streamline

[Balloonoob]

So I have been admiring this frame style for a while now and would appreciate any info, advertising, pictures, or previous threads regarding the Huffman streamline. I really like how the extra seat stays act as fender mounts. @New Mexico Brant has a really nice black one. @Freqman1 has a nice 1937 Firestone Fleetwood Supreme with a similar frame style. Were there other brands that sold the same frame style? Are some more sought-after than others? Out of necessity i try and find affordable bikes but something tells me that many collectors are looking for these and affordable is not really applicable but more likely rare. Show em off! I would if I had one.

Something like this might be as close as I ever get but who knows. People win the lottery all the time. https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/super-streamline-wanna-be.124812/

If you are price conscious then you really should consider the Firestone version with the straight rear stays instead of the curved ones. These are much more affordable.

Ohhh. I see the difference now. But the curved stays are so cool! Champagne taste on a beer budget.

Pretty much one of these would be my holy grail bike. Since getting in the hobby the art deco era has really taken over my brain. Have a Zep and Colson Firestone and love all the 30's and 40's stuff, but the Streamlines, tank or no tank, have got to be one of the biggest styling successes of the era.
