Thanks, for the contributions guys!
 
Did y’all notice the darts and swirlley thing on the tank of the BC that showed up at the Cyclone Coaster ? Darts match the Brown and Tan I sold, but the swirlley thing is upside down, relative to every other BC in this thread ?!

Looks like all the other paint details are different too, no fancy darts. Whole different paint scheme.
 
Marty ... I don’t think this bicycle falls under this model number ... maybe a 1940 ... by serial number reference makes it a early 40 .. but odd features on this one .. similar .. but the non embossed clam shell tank for one - the six hole rack - and the feather guard - paint scheme - well with exception of the odd tank graphic appear to be the same .. locking truss fork - I’ve only seen a couple others with the same tank graphics... odd is good though .. here’s from our ride last Saturday ... The bicycle is as purchased - 2 speed ND & all - with exception of the juvenile cross brace bars that were on the bicycle which were a little more narrow & shorter than standard bars that I replaced before the ride Saturday with a set of NOS nickle platted Torringtons that should've been on it ... great rider & a keeper ... Ridden not Hidden - Frank

Working on a deal for this ladies version of the BC model.

This one is unusual, in that it was jobbed by Hudson’s department store in Detroit, so it seems to be a mix of options that were mostly associated with the B model Hollywood.

Note, the Gothic fenders, side stand and two tone paint scheme.
Also, equipped with the rear carrier.

My thoughts were, that it mates up nicely with this similarly equipped, 1939 Hudson Detroit, Autocycle.

It’s nice, that it also mates up with its BC model brother.
Two mates in one.
