I have been reviving the 37-38 Roadmaster Fleetwood for some time now. Came out better than I thought it would.

Here's the dilemma I'm having right now...the last decision I'll make on this one for a bit.

Which tires looks best.

Blackwalls

Or these Cremes

It's all about the Tanklights!!

How did I run out of room so fast?

Blackwalls. Was the bike just really dirty or did you take sterner measures? And what were they? Sure turned out nice!

I liked the blackwalls better too. But, the creme does make it pop. I figured with the brown with white (now patina'd to almost beige) the tires wouldn't be too loud and mix right in. Guess it depends how loud I want to look.
But the blackwalls do make it look it's age.

Andrew, it was just caked with grime. Lots of elbow grease using wd40 and 0000 then compound and a little liquid wax.
Painted the rims a mocha brown to match the frame. Close but, not a prefect shade match.

So, that's 3 to 2 on the blackwalls so far.
