Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
A51118 serial, bikehistory.org says Built: 11/28 of 1951.
wheels are drop center, and the rear has a Bendix hub with a skip tooth gear. never seen a Bendix with a skip tooth, has a skip tooth Sweetheart sprocket.
I didn't see any bikes with the train light and a skip tooth chain in my searches, and as far as I know these rims were not used after 1948. my 1949 B6 has S-2's, regular chain and a "Phantom" sprocket.
I think it has an admiral head badge.
the junk in the first picture is what I bought at the Marin Bike Museum swap where I bought this bike, and the Alameda Point Antique show last weekend.
got 4 used Schwinn tires for half of what I paid for two new ones that fit poorly and bounce down the road.
