From 1960-1964 Huffy imported and re-branded Carlton road frames. This was the top of the line model. Since all I got was the frame, fork, headset, and bottom bracket, I decided to build it as a single speed. It's my first and I LOVE this bike. I've turned into a nervex-ish lug freak, especially the chromed ones. No one believes it's a Huffy!
