1938 Schwinn New World Restoration

[Bozman]

I just finished restoring a Ladies 1938 Schwinn New World. The handle bars were to rusty to just shine up so several coats of Rustoleum Metallic Aluminum Paint did the trick. I have many WW2 era bike that had their handle bars painted silver. I have 2 other rather rusted pre war New Worlds with Sturmey Archer 2 speeds and locking forks. I will probably rebuild the Men's and sell the woman's frame.

Did a bunch of research and 1938 was the first year of production for the New World model.

What's the serial number? Your New World has drop outs which first came on the 1940 and up models.
