Schwinn Admiral Model C Project

I live for the CABE
I really excited about this crusty old Admiral that arrived today. 37 stamped crank with a Z03999 serial number. I think that would be an early 38. Much of the original maroon paint is still there but looks to be severely stained by age so it now appears kind of reddish brown. That said, it makes a neat patina. I gave it a light wipe with WD40 to knock a bit of the dust off. And so it begins.....

Nice! That looks like a NOS piece that was stored in a barn with no roofing.

Thanks all.

. Explains why the seat post is shoved down and stuck all the way up to the taper. All part of the fun. Pins are very faint on the rims giving a bit of hope they can be saved. Some bad touch up that needs to be removed on on the fender pins. Some may argue its too far gone but I think its still a candidate for preservation. Seems like my taste and my pocketbook always lean towards the crusty ones that are barely salvageable.
 
Nice score, Dan. you have a great eye and I'm sure this will be another awesome bike in your collection. As you like to say, SICK! Tim
