Goodday all I'm restoring a circa 60 child bike  20" front wheel 12" back wheel that I resqued from a scrap yard a few years ago.The frame was badly bent & the front wheel was bent 90 degrees--it's restored except I still need a front tire--wheel is 20" & tire I think would be 1" wide? --thats what the rear tire is!  The name plate is correct for this bike,but off another tricycle of the same era ANY help appreciated!Larry Healey

Larry welcome back to this neck of the woods.

I didn't know they even made these on into the sixties. Cool! Hope you can find a front tire.
