Western Flyer X53

[GMANHOUSTON]

Here is my Western flyer X53 Project. It is about 90% done now just waiting on wheel restoration and some new rubber.
I had it rechromed and painted. I did add my own twist to the chainguard dubbing it "El Mariachi"

Your Western Flyer X53 just took me back to Christmas of 1953. That's when I received my X-53 @ Western Auto Stores.. It was gold & red with
chrome fenders. I remember that the red had a "metallic" cherry red . I remember my father had to reverse the bike stem so I could reach the
handlebars. Retail was about $75 , which was a lot back then! Thanks for posting your bicycle.

Hello Mrs Cleaver, my that's a lovely dress. Might I impose upon you and borrow Theodore's X53?

 

[GMANHOUSTON]
