1948 Auto Cycle?

Looks good! What makes it an auto cycle? Said bare metal when you got it? Just curious….

Not really sure to be honest with you. I was just going off the 1948 catalog honestly. That’s why I put the question mark at the end. Haha, I figured someone would call me out and set me straight if I was wrong. And yes it was bare metal when I got it and the rims were all messed up so I rebuilt them and painted them. Not the original front end but period correct I believe. I’ve only been messing with these things for a couple of months so if I’m wrong please set me straight and help me further my education on these awesome pieces. Thanks.

Love that look! Nice to see a custom bike that is tastefully done. Those bars are slick!

Thank you. It was a pain doing the scallops and stuff but on try 3 I feel pretty good about it. First time trying to do something like that. I’m not a painter by any means.
