Look Ma, No Hands!
I recently got this from a pawn shop in north suburban Chicago. They wanted $400 (ridiculous). I kept emailing the guy and asking him questions etc. I finally went to see it and ended up getting it for less than a third of his asking price. He said an 85 year guy brought it in and said he bought it new. He must have kept it inside under a cover. No rust at all. There are some scratches from it being 56 years old. All I really had to do was to get rid of the blackwalls he had on it and lube it up a bit and tighten and adjust some things including the 2 speed Bendix hub and that shifts perfectly too. The head light works as well.
The green color just screams 1950's and looks even better in person.
The Libertyville license plate I had for years and was waiting for a good bike to put it on.
Click on the youtube link below to see the iMovie I made with ALOT more pictures. You can pause any picture to study it more if you like. Now when anyone does a Google search for this model, this will come up as a really nice video document of the bike.
