Ad from 1969 for Huffy Electromatic lawn tractor. But what I notice most is the kid with the Huffy bike in the background. :thumbsup: I was 10 years old at the time and remember the radical bikes of the time of muscle cars and the space race. I put a lot of miles on one of those Huffy bikes that I had with features such as bananna seats, sissy bars, high rise handlebars, stick shifts, hi/low wheels and red wall, fat, slick back tires. They had names such as Cheater Slick, Dragster, Chopper etc. What a care free time it was when parents didn't worry where you were as long as you were back home in time for dinner. :laughing:

Actually we could get 4 on the bike, 2 on the bananna seat, 1 hanging on to the sissy bar with their feet on the rear hub bolts and 1 sitting in the high rise handlebars all going downhill. :laughing: Evil Knievil had nothing on us.:biggrin:
