1941 Schwinn Deluxe Autocycle project

[37fleetwood]

Went to the Cyclone Coaster Swap meet yesterday and picked up this super nice 1941 Schwinn Autocycle and I am going to build it into one just like the brown and tan one on ebay recently.
Stay tuned this ought to get good!

Hey check this out, I'm already on my way! just found the tank on ebay in matching orange and white!
is orange and white a rare color combo?

I thought those kind of drop outs indicated postwar on schwinn bicycles???

More Schwinn-bashing?

I am no expert, but this looks like a fun project to me. I always did like the look of those tanks.

Ooops...

Nice one Scott!!! You sucked me in with this troll. I thought you just posted a wrong photo in error. That was until you posted the tank and I re-read your words.:o

wow, rare, one month only

love those super-rare prewar, hand painted by Ingaz himself, color combinations, especially when you have that one month only daisy flower chainring which was an experimental run for Schwinn in late '38 on Louisville Cycle Supply frames only, should command top dollar on ePay when complete...

I was going to build a very rare prewar Dayton....but then I decided to crush it and make a paperweight instead.
