Wore out three sets of tires already!
Here is a young man with his New Sky Blue J39-6 Stingray and transistor radio.
You can see the “white plastic protective cap” still on the kick stand.
I’ve owned this M4 (Dec. 7, 1964) for 15 years and was very fortunate to also get several photos that have stayed with this bike since new.
Factory Original paint, screens, decals, chrome, pedals, tires and perfect white tufted Stingray saddle.
Frame = M4
Fork = 12-4
Front axle = Z-64 with silver cadmium bearing cones.
Crank = SW-3-64
Born with dated tires.
Stem - MAX HT, handlebar has the mild bends.
There is one small area of paint touch-up above the kick stand.
Possible corrosion caused by an animal years ago?
There’s nothing quite like the marbling found in the Schwinn Factory Paint, which takes years to develop.
