1940 Cantilever Autocycle Standard

[VintageSchwinn.com]

New one to me. Meticulous super anal-retentive detail underway. Paint is in amazing original condition, having been well preserved under dirt and light grease. Chrome is in equally superb condition after a bath. Original wheelset next to come.
Anyone know of a nicer original Maroon '40 push button Autocycle?

GREAT bike. I agree with your description of yourself with the detailing. It's a good thing. Don't ever apologize for it. I have been known to be the same way at times and I never do. Keep us posted with the progress.

That maroon paint is beautiful. It shows a little age but the bike wears it very well.

Wow!
Very nice.
Can't wait to see the completed pictures.
Are you going with whitewalls or blackwalls?

It will have G-3 whitewalls. Wheels are a front high-flange hub, rear drum brake.
