1937 1938 Schwinn auto-cycle motorbike factory chrome plated fender then painted over!!!!!

-
Update on the subject;
I just dismantled the Placerville Motorbike.
1193467

Original as found, that appeared to have not been collectorized.
1937 dated crank.
R prefix small font, tightly spaced serial number/ paint scheme, indicates, 1938 issue.
Front tank strap positioned behind the top tube dart, which is usually associated with 1939 models.
So to Tedd’s point, if the set back strap position was being issued well into 1938 as this bike would indicate.
Then I would assume, that all of the 1939 models had the set back strap location, and that the 1938 model could’ve had either strap location.
 
Thanks, Tyler.
I just realized, that this wasn’t the thread where the tank strap location was being DISCUSSED! Lol!
So, I also posted it over there as well.
