I had a purple one with white walls. It was a 3 speed. Not a Schwinn and I do not recall the brand, but sure wish I still had it.

Found a few More. Does anyone recognize the driver of the 58 Pontiac? All Pic's from the web. I like the Corvair Funny Car! I don't remember seeing one before.

The photo was from Popular Mechanics. I'm not sure if it was a specified bicycle brand, or a composite of many models to show the various features of what was popular on kids' bikes at the time.

Surely, you gest on the 58 Pontiac driver!
Plenty of Corvairs in funny cars / gassers in competition in the mid to late 60's, including Pontiac driver Hayden Proffett. see the link;

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
