We have restored what we think is a 1946 Schwinn bike for my mother-in-law. She remembers getting it when she was 14 so that would make it 1946. It is serial number C31756. We need a reflector and a head-badge for it but are not sure what style would be appropriate. Also, she remembers it coming with a speedometer. Is such a vintage part available? Finally, the catalog pictures shows the bike with a chromed front truss. Are these available? Any help from out there would be appreciated.
And, no, at 84 she is not going to be riding it, but her great-grandkids probably will.
