The model comes with 20-inch wheels, a standard ‘banana seat’, and high handlebars. It was one of the coolest bikes ever invented by the company at that time. It initially manufactured 12 bikes a day, but as the Depression worsened, the company was able to produce 200 bicycles per day. More and more people embrace cycling in their daily commute making Huffy bicycles a necessity. The bicycles produced by the brand can be divided into three categories – Huffy bicycles from the 1950s, Huffy bicycles from the 1960s and 1970s, and Huffy bicycles manufactured after 1975. These models can further be subdivided into adult model bikes and children bikes. The new frame was approximately 4" to 5" longer than previous models. In 1968, in an effort to market a children's bicycle with an automotive theme, Huffman designers added a car-type steering wheel in place of handlebars to the Rail frame, which became the Huffy Wheel. In mid-1968, Huffman released the Flaming Stack chain guard, which was designed to look like the distinctive side exhaust pipe covers on the Corvette sports car. Later that same year, Huffman released a new Slingshot model with 16" front dragster wheel, and 20" rear. The new 1969 models where the last year for the three-bar Rail frame style. In 1970 Huffman deleted their three-bar frame and went to a two-bar Rail frame, eventually adding additional two-tone fade paint jobs along with Persons striped seats. Plus, they also come packed with accessories, like a basket for extra storage. This contract increased sales to $2.8 million and on top of this, the US government also placed an order for an additional 4000 bicycles. This revolutionized the company and within two years, sales figures were at around $1.5 million, production output had doubled, Firestone was back in the stable and newcomer Western Auto Company had become a major client. Horace Huffman Snr – founder of Huffy Bicycles – learnt the art of manufacturing at his father’s knees. His father was George P. Huffman, owner of the Davis Sewing Machine Company (1882 – 1925), and the producer of the first Davis Sewing Machine bicycle and renowned Dayton Special Roadster. With the introduction of Huffman Dayton Streamliner and Huffy Convertible Bike, the company became the largest bicycle manufacturer across the world. In the 1940s, Huffy Corporation introduced bicycles that could cater to both men and women. Its products can also accommodate people of all ages – adults, and children. Huffy bicycles were also affordable, allowing the company to target a wide range of markets. There have been positive user reviews about the comfort of bikes, especially their comfort seats. When I first started cycling, I tried different products from Huffy Bikes. Since their bikes are affordable, I thought Huffy would be a good option to start with for my family too. I remember getting my daughter the Huffy Glimmer Kid’s Bike, on her 3rd birthday. She is a bit of an extreme rider like her dad, but it’s safe to say that the bicycle hasn’t been replaced yet. They collect restored and repainted bike models, as well as advertising paraphernalia like posters, brochures, catalogs, among others.
