Stunning bike....I love that shade of green!

Lookin' good! Nice color choices!

Super cool story, thanks for sharing. That's a beautiful Comet but I really liked that Cadillac!

That is turning out perfect...beautiful patina!

I'd try to strip off the black paint, clean it up, clean up the chrome and then give it a boiled linseed oil wipe down. I like removing old re-paints on bikes....I feel like an archeologist uncovering its true past.

Very nice. I have the exact same frame and chain guard.... I think its a '59. On mine the upper part of the chain guard is red and has 'Sky King' in white letters.

I'll be there this year, really looking forward to it!

The photos at the top are what my '62 looked like when I purchased it. As mentioned, these old Schwinns clean up really well....mine came out real nice with enough patina to signify 'Old American Schwinn'. New CST whitewall tires fill out the fenders nicely and the bike rolls like butter.

Congratulations on a beautiful Debutante! I have one not nearly as nice tucked away in the back of my storage unit, was just looking at it yesterday. I paid $75 for it a couple years back...it was a CL find and the lady was also running a garage sale the day I picked it up....I had it parked...

Great bikes and those restored saddles are gorgeous!

Beautiful bike, very nice progress! And gorgeous Model T as well. Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone were very good friends, Ford's original Quadricycle still wears its Firestone tires.

I had one of those back in the day, cool seeing that box again.

That drafting table is beautiful. If only it could talk. And perfect for a home desk!

That ought to turn out nice. Good foundation to work with. I had my '65 Huffy out on display, posed in front of the Christmas tree just like it was Christmas morning 50 years ago.

Cool bike, looks good!

Nice complete survivor, will look great once cleaned up.

Beautiful Tandem, love that color. Nice present, Merry Christmas!

.....97% of whom agree with the realities of global warming; no longer a question of 'if', but rather how to slow the process down. The beauty of this El Nino is that it is forecast to last right through early spring....the flipside is that insect larvae usually wiped out during a cold winter...

A combination of global warming and one of the strongest El Nino's ever recorded.

Love it! Nice find at a great price.

Very nice indeed! Its nice to see fully restored examples, a flashback to how they looked brand new.

That light screams Art Deco and is the coolest bike light ever installed by a manufacturer.

Thanks, I'll look it up. Every time I see one of these furthers my resolve to find one.

Good looking bike. I have its exact twin, really nice rider.

Gorgeous, elegant bike....a keeper for sure.

Wow, that is nice. Classy combo of old and new.

Beautiful job Cory, bike looks great.

Congratulations, beautiful bike. Perfect mix of gloss and patina.

Very strong El Nino this winter continuing into early spring. I'm anticipating a very warm winter season occasionally interrupted by a few cold days.

A big +1 on this.

Broke up with my girlfriend a few months back otherwise it might have been under her xmas tree. Beautiful bike! That seat fits it well.

Really nice bike, that rake is super cool and the big Fat Franks go really well with it.

Nice Murrays! Someday hopefully I'll get an X-53, one of my favorite bikes. Also, nice console radio!

That seat pan itself is worth some good $...original Schwinn solo.

It would be great to see this up on its feet again. PB Blaster is your friend for bolt removal, just needs multiple applications and several days soaking time. Many good threads here on rust removal using products such as Rust Evaporator, oxalic acid. Once you dissolve most of that rust, give...

Gorgeous bike, nice job!

Beautiful bike, one of my favs here.

Cool and bike looks great!

Nice work on this, that polished fender looks great. I've had good luck using a 50/50 mix of acetone and transmission fluid as a penetrating fluid....just needs time to soak.

Actually it was a desperation hook and ladder play, Rogers ended up with the ball and was tackled. When #12 ends up with his chinstrap in his mouth, refs will call facemask 10 times outta 10....as someone else mentioned, Rogers, Brady and Manning are the NFL's rating stars.

The Lions have been owned by the Ford family since '62. They've run it like a business...profit vs. loss....nearly every game here is a sellout = high profit, why invest in big name talent? Their last title was in '57....never been to a Superbowl, not even close. They need an owner like Robert...

Beautiful patina, right down to the pedals!

The Lions are an absolute joke, have been ever since I can remember. I have refused free tickets, wouldn't waste my time to watch JV football. They play in an enclosed stadium that is more of an auditorium than football field. Now that the alcoholic owner Bill Ford has passed, we'll see what...

Great price!

Excellent work, love it!

PM sent on seat

I'll take the NOS Safe Tee rear light please

Wow, very impressive, well done!

Excellent write-up and beautiful bike...thanks for sharing. Can't beat the Fat Franks, they look great on these old bikes and roll as smooth as butter.

Stunning bike and great story! Amazing how destiny always finds its way. Congratulations on such a beautiful find.
