Saw this pop up on Craigslist last night. Paid $75, cool coppertone. Just came home with it. Checked the serial number and she is a 1968. Will be a great spring restoration project for me. Pedals look to be on unoriginal and so do the tires, but everything else looks authentic. Love it...

Complete working Chicago copper Typhoon for Wallyworld China bike clearance price? Well worth it. Tires are expendables.
 
The Kenda 26x1 3/4 tires at that link are the most similar to original, while the Sunlite Cruiser with the 26x2x1 3/4 size are slightly wider. I believe the ISO size is 571.
 
I got a couple sets of the slightly wider tires for a middleweight form Amazon, supposedly made by kenda...Dunno, but look much better than the skinny 1.75's IMHO and got em delivered for about $12 each.
 
Local guy here has a nice coppertone vette, 3 speed if your interested I'll PM ya his info.

I have a guy here also who has 5 Coppertone bikes also ,just can't seem to
Get him to budge on his price .
