- 1939 Schwinn E-Z Hardware C Model

Last call before I remove this bike. Put a red chain guard on it with a red carrier from the previous years of C models and you may have a more attractive C model/Z model prewar Schwinn.[/B]

Here is an extremely good 1939 Schwinn C Model. This is a very nice untouched original bike with straight fenders and tank. Tank did not have a horn from new. The sheet metal and the tank are really straight. Note: I do have the Drop Stand and pedals.

This appears to be 1941ish due to the 6" headtube on the ladies models. I always wondered what the story was with these "non-cataloged" models, and here is all of the info about them straight from the factory. Obviously a "C" style frame, but the unique specs make them a Z. I don't think I have...
