Hello everyone!
I love things from the 40's and 50's.. Cars, advertisements, license plates, Leave it to Beaver, etc. I stumbled across a Hiawatha tank bike for sale while I was looking for a bike for my daughter on craigslist. I could not believe how beautiful the bike was and I had to go see it right away. It had only been listed for a few hours. I normally research things to ridiculous levels before making a purchase. In this case, I did not. I may have got a great deal or I may have overpaid. I really do not care too much because the price was reasonable for something I would have a great time riding and would make me smile every time I looked at it. (beauty is in the eye of the beholder).
I have done what I can to search for information, but it is not easy to find. I am looking form help from the forum.
I would like to know how to best refer to this model. Is it a "Horn Tank"?
What year was it manufactured?
What kind of value does a bike like this usually have?
I have included many photos to help.
Thanks gang!!
