dont forget the grey Ghost

I don't recall ever hearing about the Grey Ghost . . . neighbor kid my younger brothers age had an Orange Krate. I thought it was cool. Bob Perkins collects old Schwinn bikes I believe.

I wonder if the grey ghost was a specific target model, vice a nationwide model.

I picked up a Western Flyer... $80
it's pretty cool and in original condition.
We go to a few shows where it's popular to ride them around the roads of the show. Twice a year, the Redneck Rumble in Lebanon TN and a couple shows like Nostalgia Nationals at Beach Bend Dragway
