Anyone need a new avatar?

I'm not cool enough to use it ...

I ran across this ad on the back of a '64 Life magazine. Can anyone identify the bike?

I think the bar-ends are Simplex, the brakes are Universal and we are talking 1964, not 1974, so I don't think this is Japanese (unless you meant Universal Junky Bike). This looks a bit nicer than that. Chromed fork-ends front and rear, chrome fork crown with cutout, chrome lugs on headtube (possibly with cutouts -- hard to tell). Plus, the guy smokes Chesterfields, so he wouldn't ride a crappy bike. This is a back-cover-Life-ad brand folks -- not some page 30 smoke ...
