Vintage bicycle, Firestone, 3 speed hub

[balloontirecruiser]

That is a 1960's Huffy made bicycle, badged and resold by Firestone. It is not particularly uncommon or valuable but is a nice old bicycle, and by the looks, it doesn't need too much work to get running top again.

It ride great. It just looks awful.
I don't need to change any of the gear ratios as it gives me all I need.
Colors...Now there is a chalenge. Do it back inthe original red or go wild with neon lime green.
Now there is another dilema.
Thanks for all the help.
regards, Lillian

why not both colors ?
do it up wild

"Cause I am older than dirt and I dare not go too wild or my Grandkids will try to have me committed".
They already think Gramma is half a bubble off plumb.
I like the Candy Apple Red. I think that is what I'll use.
It was that color originally so I'll go with that. I'll use the chrome polish on the fenders even though they are stainless.
I have the original seat so I might get the leather redone.
It is an easy bike to ride.
Now I have to get a crash helmet to go out on it.
Thanks,
Lillian

the lime green for pinstipes, & lettering. one is ...

My son asked me how many horses pulled my wagon when I came to California.
He was 7 and theywere studying Early California history. I told him there were 350 under the hood of a Ford Fairlane.
My 3rd daughter asked me if I knew Noah...humm. Now I never got the man's name the had the big boat.
But they were sure I had something to do with making that biiig boat.
Yes that sounds good Red with Lime green pin stripes.
Might go that way.
Thanks Lillian
