Cruisin' on my Bluebird
I picked up this 39 Elgin last month from the daughter of the original owner. Her mother had owned it since it was new. The bike was her pride and joy and she didn't let any one else ride it, including her children. The bike was always kept indoors and was kept in riding condition. The woman passed away a couple of years ago and the family finally decided to let it go. Today the daughter forwarded a picture to me of her mother on the bike. It's great to have a photo of the bike with its original owner.
The bike is a 1939 with aluminum fenders and aluminum front loader light. I don't have a catalog image of this particular model, it's a model number 502-5099. The bike is in excellent shape, all I've done so far is to straighten the front fork. It still needs a good cleaning and overhaul. I also have some Allstate whitewall tires to put on it. Looks like it had them in the original photo.
