1955 Evans-Colson Firebird

by JCH100 · January 26, 2011

A very rare, top of the line Evans-Colson Firebird featuring Harley Earl styling, “Evanaction” front suspension, Sturmey-Archer 3-Speed hub, caliper brakes, jeweled bow type pedals, bumper guard around rear rack and fender and a unique stop-light system built into the taillight. Note also the flush fit seat tube creating a clean, unbroken line from top tube through to the rear rack.
