They are in a loving home. That in the end is all that really matters to me.

The Corvette and Jaguar shared the same lights and during the years the lights changed. The Delta Ball, CEV, Road Liter and Pumpkin were used and in that order. The Road Liter was used on the 61 models and the Pumpkin no reflector was used on the 1962 and later models.

Thank you.. So the road lighter was one year only.. 1961.. Not seeing any info in the on-line Schwinn catalogs..

Yes one year only for the Corvette and Jag’s. Then it was used on a few other models later.

Edit: I'll retract that statement. After viewing some examples posted here on the Cabe the Road Liter was used in 1960 also.

Pedalsnostalgia in the SBF group did a Schwinn headlight history and pictorial about 10 years ago. I will try and find the link.
