I don’t normally like a Huffy, but this is a really neat bike. First, it’s a 3 speed stick shift on the top bar which is cool. Next, it’s got the tall bars with the banana seat, the Sting-Ray look. The seat is a two-tone green metal flake color. This is a kids bike with 20” wheels. It also has rim brakes rather than coaster and a chrome rear fender. And look at that chain guard with the exhaust pipe look. Really cool bike for a Huffy!
Interesting fact: Huffy was the first to offer a Sting-Ray style bike, not Schwinn. It was originally called the Penguin which may be one reason it’s not as iconic as the Schwinn.

I was starting to get tired of all the Sting Ray posts, but I never knew Huffy beat Schwinn to the market with this bike.
Glad I scored with the interesting fact! 😁
Amazing. I used to have one of these! If I remember correctly mine was blue.
Bet it was fun
Too cool 😎
I miss seeing banana seats and sissy bars!
Maybe they will make a comeback
I don’t even see kids on bikes anymore. Neighbor has one but rode it for a couple months then never again.
Strange. I see quite a lot.
Well, it’s kinda dangerous for kids to ride here. But they don’t play outside either.
I had one of these and it was Yellow. A beauty she was. Oh wowww. Brought back some fine memories.
