Yes, that Yellow Oval Slik speaks very loud in the early Stingray community.

Oceanside swap meet.

Thank you Tim.

I grew up in Springfield Illinois and in the mid 60’s Stingrays were being stolen constantly. I never had my ‘66 stolen, but I heard of others that were taken.

For whatever reason my photos on this site tend to be dull. Other sites I post on, my photos are exactly the color in real life.
This ‘64 Coppertone pops in my photos and in person, but unfortunately not here 😟.

Looks like someone put a Schwinn seat on that Huffy bike. The Dragster II came with leopard print seat.

I was in the Henry Ford Museum the other day and noticed they have a new exhibit focused on bicycles.

They have a Krate bike, a Lemon Peeler, on display.

What tickled me was the choice they made for the companion bike in the display: a Schwinn Continental 10 speed, in Root Beer Barrel brown metallic.

That is the exact bike (even the same color) I bought to replace my Krate bike when I sold it, in high school.

Lemon Peeler value = approx $10,000.

Schwinn Continental value = approx $10

Feels weird to see stuff I used to own on display in a museum.

It feels even weirder if it is something I still own and am still using.
