This photograph is from early to mid 1960. Any ideas as to what this bicycle is? This has been bothering me for decades. Can’t find anything like it anywhere.
One Answer
It's a 1961 Hawthorne Twin Bean Tank Bike sold by Montgomery Ward.

The model was sold in 1960 and 1961. The 1960 version has slightly different graphics.
The Hawthorne bikes were made by CWC (Cleveland Welding Company) the maker of the Roadmaster bicycles) since 1934, and were distributed by Montgomery Ward across the country.
