63 Continental with a 11-22-63 date stamp.

Beautiful bike!
Looks like the r. der. pivot bolt needs to be loosened a tad so the body is free to pivot forward.

Yep we fixed that.

Here are two of my favorites, a '65 Radiant Coppertone Collegiate and a '65 Radiant Coppertone Varsity Tourist. I've had these for a long time.

I don't know if I would consider this gold, but it's listed as Opalescent Gold in the catalogs. It's a '57 Traveler, another long time resident in my collection.

A few pics in the sun where this color is at its best IMO. Tim

I particularly love that Varsity!
Great job on the photography, I haven't been able to get the hang of it yet.
Shooting in the sun I generally get so much reflection that it obscures a lot of detail, and even in the sun I can't seem to capture the "glow" of the candy colors.
Your photos are excellent!
