I have
a thread about the 1965 Gazelle-A over here.
There's a 1950's example of the same Torpedo coaster brake hub on the way to build a new wheel. The GH-6 dynohub isn't original either but sort of fits the style of this bike IMHO. But I was looking more from a practical point of view. The modern LED light won't be period correct either.
For now I am just chemically removing rust, touching up the gold pinstriping and coating everything in a clearcoat.
These bikes are a dime a dozen around here but I enjoy giving this one a fancy new lease on life.
