What's Wrong With This Autocycle?

[Euphman06]

The paint looks pretty thick where the serial number is. I originally thought resto when I saw that, but the rest of the bike swayed me the other way. Not sure. It would be cool if that was the original badge, but I guess only way of telling is to take it off and see what holes are underneath if this badge really is taller than a normal badge.

I'm willing to accept it's a resto.. if it is, it's an older one done very well.

Yeah, the paint looks great honestly

After looking at the additional pictures, I'm thinking that had a very professional resto job at some point.

Those badges used to be in the Peters'Chestnut Hollow catalog back in the early 90's. Same size,badge pattern as,wait for it,....CWC.

Too early for s2's. Woulda had flat lobdells,or drop centers,chrome. Pretty deluxe bike,probably woulda had a straight chain,too. Restored how the person who had it,or restored how the owner wanted it to be.

I've seen I think 7 of these and all had drop centers. Pretty rare bike honestly. All the kids wanted the canti ...The early post war autocycle is one of my favorites. Here is my old deluxe/equipped 1946 BA107

Nice. I'm the 2nd owner of a late 40 b107 autocycle. Has all the bells n whistles, factory dd n.d. 2 speed,pat pending drum brake,fenderlight cover,e.a. horn in tank,stepped 6 hole rack refector,even have the orig chyco suer service w/w tires ratholed away. Not a big fan of the cantis,the 46-49 fatbar autocycles were,in my opinion,the best bike schwinn ever built.
