My 1951 Shelby Flyer...

What headlamp did she have; i.e. Biscuit, torpedo, or?

Did she come with a tank? What seat did she have?

Does anyone have a neat/clear AD of 1951 Shelby Flyer [girls] they can post?

The only thing I know for sure is yes, there was a tank used on that style frame, whether yours originally had one...?

Thank YOU Adamtinkerer; I have acquired what I call a 'girls' Troxell seat, in saddle light brown color... according to what I see in photos on web of 'original' Shelby bikes... it's a match.

Do you have a proper tank one could purchase? A correct chain guard?

No, but they turn up on ebay occasionally. And, it's easy to tell what they're for, matching that wiggly cross bar!
