Huffy Constellation on velospace, the place for bikes

So, observations? Is this something like a Raleigh International? Stunning.

One of your links says it's a re-badged Carlton. It appears to have stamped dropouts so it's not comparable to a Raleigh International other than in appearance.

Huffy did rebadge Carlton Catalina's way back and Moultons... Head lugs look pretty cleanly done...

Looks more like a rebadged Super Course, but that cromovelato paint job! Wowzer!

My observation is, cool bike. This will make plenty out there laugh, but I think that might be a grail bike for me, since I never figure I'll come across one. Largely because its just cool on its own, but made all that much cooler by the Huffy branding. I dig it!

On my 'contrarian grail' list, along with a Puch/Ted Williams/Sears 531 ride, Viscount Aerospace, and a Manufrance Hirondelle, along with a few others I like forgotten right now.
