Skyway Bicycles Distributed by C.Itoh and Co of New York
There have been two different companies selling SKYWAY brand bicycles; (1) C.Itoh & Co of New York, a subsidiary of the huge Japanese company bearing the same name, and (2) Skyway Machine of Redding, CA. This posting is of the C.Itoh Skyway brand bicycles which were produced by Bridgestone in Japan. This image is an advertisement published in the January 1964 issue of the American Bicyclist magazine. Itoh later dropped the Skyway brand and replaced it with the Kabuki brand. [Skyway-C.Itoh]
