Wore out three sets of tires already!
That's really interesting. I look forward to finding serial numbers of more painted fender Luxury Liners.I'm not sure about your serial. There's nothing showing, but they've offset the serial for some reason. The older serials were centered on the bracket, and CWC markings don't always have good stamps. I've seen them so light that they're hard to read even after the paint is stripped.
I had just assumed that because the 1998 reproduction is often stated to be of a 1948 bike, that this had to be 1947. It seems that some sources say that the 1998 reproduction is actually of a 1949 bicycle, which would make more sense, and would put this in the tail end of this model before the update for the 1949 Christmas season.
