Schwinn Serial Number Reference

So...serial #D61452...see attached photos...1938?View attachment 660889 View attachment 660890

Appears to be an extremely late 1939 Motorbike

Naw that's a parts bike. 40 frame, BC model tank, etc

I thought that tank looked funny! the no gills is also a giveaway.

No gills AND the location of the tank straps is the clue without seeing the other side for door or horn button.

It is pieced together, I believed that the frame and parts were a prewar motorbike, I was able to obtain a 39 tank from a BA model. I guess not a true "motorbike" , but since I could never find a motorbike to buy, thought this was pretty cool. Leaving it "crusty", plus it is a good rider that I really enjoy.

If someone wants to add information for serial number prior to 1948, please post that here.

Please don't reply with discussion beyond that.. I want to keep this thread strictly related to serial number i.d..

Thanks,
DS

I just picked up a Schwinn Cadillac men's bike #B99307. Looking for info and Year.
Thank you for any help!

1946 if the serial number is under the crank.
And a nice one at that!

Thank you!

The fenders look mismatched and possibly prewar,but overall a nice bike.
