Looking For Information

Submitted by John on Wed, 12/09/2020 - 18:00

Recently received the following note from a gentleman looking for information. Anyone help him out?

 

In the late 60's early 70's I received as a gift a ccm muscle bike which i am trying to find the model name of and maybe a picture  

The bike was red. It had chrome front and rear fenders. it had a sissy bar and a banana seat. Was a 3 speed with the shifter on the top tube. It had a 20" front wheel and a 24" rear wheel 

I would appreciate any help someone might be able to give

That would be a 1968-1970 CCM Firebird. From the 1970 literature...

I believe the bike in the image is a Charger. The firebird was a 5 speed bike with a derailleur.

You're correct, it's a Charger.  I don't know why I typed Firebird, as I posted the correct image. The Firbird didn't even use the 20"/24" wheel combination!
