I really don't know much, I've seen them before. Last one was a 25'' frame, I guess I should have grabbed it as there is no 24". You can go to Bob Hufford's info site and get some information on the Volare: http://www.geocities.com/sldatabook/models7579.html Look under 1977 and 78. Maybe the name was used again in later years.
