"wow, thats really nice for a huffy!"
Well, made by Carlton, England, branded for Huffy for sale in US.
"That is like "El Cool"! What kind of cranks are those?"
Ha, ha. Don't know "English", chrome, cottered? Back in those days, they put as much care into the finish on the lower level bikes as the upper. I imagine in its day this was on par with the Raleigh Super Course (though no Reynolds I don't believe).

Someone needs to direct this (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=275128) member to our thread here.
THIS is what a Huffy should dream of being.

Interesting, but mine is older than that catalog picture judging by the round hole Normandy highflange. Not sure exactly when they changed to slots.
