1940 Miss America resto

[fullcircle]

Just finished restoring the 1940 Miss America at my shop and surprised the Mrs with it on her birthday. Yellow is her favorite color that's why I painted it a non standard color. To me this color combo just looks stunning on the bike. I couldn't be the only one in the family cruising a prewar balloon tire.

Beautiful, I love the mellow yellow/white color combo. Those Miss America's are gorgeous. Great resto.

what a beauty!
warning: those torrington bevelock stems are prone to sudden breakage, and re-plating can make them even more fragile.

Thanks Jim Frazier mentioned that as well. I did find a original chrome torrington stem that I looked over very closely for cracks, I then hand polished it myself before having it re-plated. My wife is small so hopefully it will hold up because its such a pretty art deco stem
