100% Beautiful looking Phantom even if recreated & it has Lightning Dart w/o Indian head tire's, incorrect seat post clamp as well. It's still really sharp looking

It's absolutely gorgeous, but it's not a '55. The '55 had a 6-hole.

Only one boy's Blue Phantom was produced. Unfortunately, the boy who got it for his birthday was color blind. He thought it was green and he painted it black. Sad story.

Hahahahahahahahah

I have seen the original Blue Phantom with my own eyes, and it does, exist!
Just can’t tell where, when, or who.
As that remains one of the great mysteries of this hobby, of which not many remain.
So, I must keep that information as quiet as Leon’s treasure trove, and the elusive 1901 Schwinn catalog, of which no bicycles were ever produced.
They are out there, but only the Shadow knows where.
Muuuuuhhhhhaaaaaaa!
