Riding a '37 Dayton Super Streamline
First a huge thanks to @ZE52414 for getting this one to me. I know it looks pretty crusty and it is a 16" frame but I see a lot of potential in this bike. Most everything I have has all the bells and whistles and I like this one because, although it is a base level bike, it has a (working) locking fork and the early Forebrake with the short lever. Actually 1937 was the first year for the Forebrake. The bike has been rode hard and put away wet but is essentially all there. The plan is to completely disassemble, clean/replace, and service.
I've already started and so far am very pleased with what I'm seeing. This is a Liberty (Chicago Cycle Supply) badged bike and is reverse painted cream, a medium blue (ChiCyCo dark blue?), with black pins. In 1938 Schwinn called this model the "Double Bar Roadster" which is not to be confused with the Double (Curved)Bar Roadster (Model BA67). Hopefully this one will be pretty straight forward but I'm sure something will throw me a curve before its all over and I really don't look forward to lacing that front hub because they are a PITA!
