Dang. Not sure how I missed out on one of those (...instead of the Krate bike).

Do you know what years those were made?

Keith, I think it was a custom, but the Schwinn experts may be able to tell us for sure. It was at the MCACN show, in the Tiger Gold display.

Yes, those Stingrays were quite popular. I had the coaster brake model in red, just like in this picture. Then in about 3rd grade (1976 for me) BMX hit my town and I converted my Stingray into a BMX machine, ditched the banana seat for a Messenger saddle, added BMX handle bars and knobby tires. I guess that was really my first hot rod!

Default Another non-automotive old picture...

One of the storefronts of my village property. The hitching post is gone now, but the cast iron grill work and column facades still exist, about a century later. No, that ain't me standin' there in the black hat...

in the late 60's-early 70's I had a bike like the yellow one in the middle.
mine was green,a tall sissy bar,cheeter slick and I was the wheelie champion on my street. My bike was a HUFFY )

That looks like a 24" bike, with the banana seat, sissy bar and handlebars from a 20" bike. I had a 24" bike too, I don't remember ever having a 20" banana seat bike.

Yep, it was a 24". Originally came with saddle seat with the two springs under it, chrome fenders, black chain guard and low, wide handle bars. I stripped it down and added the bannana seat, sissy bar, ape hangers, speedometer, battery-operated headlight and rear view mirrors. Bought all those items at the bike accessories section at the local Ace Hardware with grass mowing money and bottle refund money. Took me a full summer of saving to buy all the stuff. I have a 35mm slide somewhere of me and my sister the Christmas day that we got our bikes.

Lightbulb OHC Hot Rod Engine

While searching for something else; I found this photo I'd taken several yrs ago of a Modified OHC Pontiac.

IIRC it was modified and used to power a speedboat.

Wow, that's VERY cool!!

May have been posted before, I can't recall, but I thought this was one of the coolest Pontiac powered dragsters ever. A pair of Pontiac 4-cylinders, and a great name, "Eight The Hard Way".
