Cruisin' on my Bluebird
With the time passing slow i am going to start breaking down this Elgin for a cleaning and grease job ... obviously new tires and such but im going to see how a good cleaning turns out before thinking of OA bath ... i like the crusty look lol
Maybe someone out there could nail down the year and model Elgin this beauty is ?
Im gonna re install rear box as well ?

Thanks guys
Junkman

Sweet ride Bob - funny I looked at the pictures before reading your post and thought "wow - that looks like a good candidate for an OA bath".
Excited to see how the cleaning goes.
Hopefully the fork straightens out without issues.
Good luck!!
 
Looks like a mid 30s with an aftermarket chain guard and headlamp. I can't tell from the pictures but does it have the Alemite lubrication zerks?
 
Well, if you can get a photo of the serial number further below the frame code, you might narrow it down.


With that in mind, D3 would be March 1939 with the Westfield code from what I have learned.

I would expect the full serial to start with a D or an E.

Nice project! I'm really liking these 30's Elgin's more and more.
