I bought 2 of those bikes, & haven't made my mind up what to do with them, yet. I hate it when my mind does me like that !
GREAT looking build !!
 
Looks like you're just missing one. The Grape http://nbhaa.com/index3.html

And here's a catalog by years http://oldroads.com/st_sum2.htm

Cool bikes!

Thanx Scottm..I have seen pictures before of the Grape Krate..It was later, about 1971 i think, along with the Cotton Picker, and the most sought after, The Grey Ghost..This probably the most rarest of the Krates..I mean what kid wanted a grey bike with all of the candy colors avaliable...
 
I don't remeber seeing these as a kid, I probably had a Sears or Montgomery Ward bike/ Schwinn wanna be. I enjoy the bike trips back down memory lane.
I know these are modern versions but it's still cool. You can click on the color and it will show that bike.

I don't know about you, but if I was a kid again and I saw A silver bike like this I might have pestered my dad a little more.:D

Silver Yes...But the origionals were like shiny grey primer,Which was of the era "HOT ROD" primer...

I had a western auto,(I think)but cant seem to find any pictures of the bike..I have searched the web and no luck..Closest thing was the Murray Eleminator,But i know it wasn't....It had a double cradle frame, with a tall sissy bar, tuck and roll pleated Bananna seat,The frame at the rear had like a plate with 3 holes in it and ram horn handle bars..it was yellow,with a black seat...I sure would some imfo...


Excuse the rough drawing....
