That's right...Huffy once manufactured lawn mowers. There is no mention of this in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.19.77.161 ( talk) 12:04, 1 March 2009 (UTC) reply

The article could be improved.... The first sentence indicates "American" in present tense, but a later sentence in the same section refers to "made in China". The "Early history" section skips the early years 1887-1948, and instead starts with a post-war history. Perhaps much of the history in the un-titled introductory section should be moved into a history section (less the "early" adjective). Suggest moving most of the "Modern Era" information into the history section (less the subjective "modern" adjective). Suggest a new section for the bankruptcy and Chinese ownership, perhaps titled, "current era". The introductory paragraph might be reduced to a couple of sentences that refer to present Chinese company, and also to the historic American bicycle company (in past tense); it is not what it was. The paragraph on particular models (1962-1971) might be reduced, or better included in a mere list of bicycle models. The history might include more information on bicycles made for sale by others (e.g., Western Auto) and the purchase of Monark-Silver King (1958). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.183.224.2 ( talk) 20:25, 6 March 2017 (UTC) reply

The article describes when a member of the Huffman family, who happened to be involved with the bicycle industry, purchased an existing company, which a few years later started to make bicycles. That company, Davis, is reported to date back to 1868. Family history is nice, but it is not quite the same as the date of a company founding. The Huffy Corporation website only states that "it all started" in 1892, (it happens); that also does not quite sound like a date of a company founding. Another website indicates that the company was really founded in 1924; (perhaps using proceeds from the sale of Davis assets to Shelby). Some companies "promote" that they have long-standing history, but wiki rules prohibit such promotional information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.77.230.159 ( talk) 19:27, 6 October 2018 (UTC) reply
