60s huffy first ride

[sillinois]

this is my first post and I've been checking out and looking for different 4 stroke bikes to build. anyway, i pulled an old huffy out of my fathers garage, it was my grandpas. Must be late 50s or early 60s. It had bridgestone t3 tires. so i aired them up and i've been driving on them all day. Is that amazing or is it just me. I haven't rode a bike since 1975

I just read where to Company name was changed to Huffy in 1977.

I believe the bikes were badged as Huffy way before that. I could be wrong.

In 1949, Huffy developed the Huffy Convertible, a children's bicycle with rear training wheels and foot steps. The Convertible revolutionized the children's market and was the first Huffy bicycle under the Huffy name. In 1953, a Huffy logo was created and Huffy switched all its bicycles to the Huffy name.

heh... the internet knows everything!!!!
