1939 Hawthorne Zeppelin Bike

I recall seeing that bike, or at least the tank, on Ebay a few years ago.

That was this bike.

The lighting bolt graphic is not a Hawthorn thing but came on other Snyder versions so some bad research on this restore

I would Love to find a true (Snyder frame) Zep project bike.....especially a red one - at least a frame and fork with Lock!

Like the others said not 1939. I’d say 1937 and it does not have a “Shockmaster” spring fork. Those are not signal pedals which would not be correct for this year anyway. A decent looking bike with Some liberties taken but description is way off. V/r Shawn

Shawn, Can you help me out with what the correct pedals would have been on a '37 Zep??
Thank in advance! - Mark
