Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
1937 Schwinn C Model
Century badge
New Departure 2 Speed
Looks to be complete except for parts missing from headlight. Don't look like it ever had a tank.
Looks to be original other than the reproduction shift knuckle.
Being that the rack is adjustable, I'm not sure it's factory original, but it matches the bike well and looks like it may have been on the bike for quite some time. It does have the prewar style bracket.
US Royal Chain Tread tires that have cracks but look ok to ride on. If you're going to do a lot of riding, you may want new tires.
When I got the bike, the seat leather had pulled away from the pan and the leather was very dry. In an effort to preserve the original seat, I conditioned the leather, and used fabric glue to glue down the padding and the leather. Turned out pretty well I think.
Rides, shifts and stops nicely. Wheels are straight.
Looks like it would clean up pretty well, or enjoy the patina as is.
