The Shelby Cycle Company is known for having produced some of the most desirable collector bicycles. In 1928 they manufactured and sold the “Lindy Flyer”, a bicycle with a Charles Lindbergh theme. In the late 1930’s they made the Shelby Speedline Airflo, a radically styled bike that is very sought after today. In the 1950’s Shelby was responsible for the Donald Duck bicycles, which were painted yellow and blue with a duck head on the front of the frame. Shelby, like other manufacturers of the time made bicycles for other retailers such as Montgomery Ward, Spiegel, Gambles stores, Firestone and Goodyear.
