1964 Opal Violet Super Deluxe

-
Down to two ‘64 Opal Violet Stingrays. I used to have an Opal J4, J38 Standard with a very early slik tire, but it’s been sold.

Here is my E4 J39 Deluxe along with the K4 J37 Super Deluxe.

I love this color.

Check out the drain / vent hole on the lower left Springer leg. Stamped on the outside. I have seen this before on the Krate springers.

I’m still digging through my old stash of information and advertisements from yesteryear and came upon a Sports Illustrated magazine.

This (Dec. 7, 1964) issue has a cool one page ad for Schwinn bicycles showing a Violet J37-6 Super Deluxe.
It looks like a 36 spoke rear wheel in this photo, which wasn’t used on the S/D Stingrays, but that’s advertising.

I’m still going through my Stingray parts stash and old literature and came upon this cool black & white photo of the Smothers Brothers on a pair of 1965 (long frame) Super Deluxes.
Quite possibly had the “yellow oval slik“ on these two.

I may have posted this in the past, but it’s worth another look. Great vintage shot.
Wish it was color.
