^^^^^^yup, springer front end with drum brake. Notice the front fender. The first year - '68 model did not have one. All the rest after did. I had a chance to bid win one that looked at least as bad as the one above, complete but no front fender. I did not see it in person but was local to me. Highly possible it was a '68. I quit bidding when it went past $300.

Isn't that an "Orange Krate"? My older Brother had the green one, a "Pea Picker". I had a POS Cruiser/Stingray/One Speed/Coaster Brake. But it did have a "Sissy Bar" so I had that going for me.

Still eats at me to this day.......

I was jealous of all the Krate, Pickers, etc with my simple Stingray.

My 69 Stingray.

Guys, I don't know what to do with it. I don't want to throw it away, but know it will be expensive to ship. However, the price is good. It would be free. Again, I have no idea how to ship it.

I thought it was called a sissy bar but wasn't sure so I googled it. Turns out sissy bar means something different these days :eek:

The only example of the XC-99 was put into service and made its first operational flight in July 1950.
It was used as part of Operation Elephant in which it broke a record by transporting 101,266 lb of cargo, a majority of which included engine parts and propellers for the B-36, from San Diego to Kelly Air Force Base in Texas.
The XC-99 would go on to break its own record in August 1953 when it transported 104,000 lb worth of cargo from Kindley Air Force Base in Bermuda to Rhein-Main Air Force base in Germany via the Azores islands. The unusual design features of the XC-99 prompted many public spectators to turn out to watch it during the journey.

The memorable scene where Lee Marvin’s horse is seen leaning against the wall, looking drunk with his legs crossed, almost didn’t make it into the movie. Because horses don’t “naturally” cross their legs, the animal’s trainer told director Silverstein that scene couldn’t be filmed. Afterward he thought that, with a few days’ work, it might be possible. When Silverstein reminded the man that time was of the essence and offered him one hour to do it, the trainer went to work and produced one of filmdom’s greatest visuals. The scene was finally realized when the horse was fed cubes of sugar while his legs were gently plied into just the right position.
