Since Howie Cohen's passing, no items are for sale.
AMF divided their bicycle departments into separate divisions; AMF Wheel Goods was for the tricycles, parkcycles and pedal cars/tractors. the other bike divisions were AMF Roadmaster and AMF Hercules. Ken Reaume was the sales rep that sold the AMF line of products to Howie`s father, Leo Cohen Sr. Joe Turkel was the VP of the Hercules Division and Len Wilson was the president of the entire bicycle divisions. WCC began distributing AMF wheel goods and bicycles in the mid 1950`s. Howie & Leo Jr. assembled hundreds of tricycles, parkcycles and pedal cars/tractors when we still had the retail business. This picture is of a 2-page spread advertisement in the 1957 issue of Bicycle Journal.

The AMF AMFlite Sports Speedster advertised in the January 1964 issue of the American Bicyclist magazine. Notice teh rear spring clip carriers off the back wheels. It appears that the fenders have a rounded shape rather than the angled peak of the earlier Roadmaster models.
