1959 Schwinn Tornado

Frameset I scored - not sure when I will build. A sister/brother bike to the blue TIGER! The Tiger and the Tornado sounds like an old myth. 1959/1960. The last photo is a different bike - a mint versi

Would love to know the history of these two bikes - where they were bought - and where they went to get to me in TX! Been very interested lately in these type old Schwinns, Beach Cruisers, Klunkers, BMX, and how their histories all fit together and how they have influenced each other, and also how FIREMANS fits into all that! Obviously these old type cruisers are where it all began.
