1946 Schwinn Corvette

[Intense One]

Whoa Nelly! I'll sit at the back of the class and take notes. I do love our forums. A wealth of knowledge. Still working toward my BS degree in the Bike Sciences (BS).....every day is a learning day......thanks to my fellow CABERS

The chainguard is correct for that 24" Middle weight!
This is a 1951 24 inch Schwinn American I built last year as a Muscle bike, and Ive had a few other 24 inchers from the 50's and theyve all had that chainguard

But WHY?

What the heck is "Peps"?

Abbreviation of an abbreviation for people “peeps”

1650s French Corvette. One class smaller than a Frigate.

I "think" Chevy horked the name Corvette...

Then Schwinn horked it from Chevy for thier bikes...(like the Jaguar)

A Corvette is a war ship IIRC so the name predate the car or bike.

Bless me Father for I have sinned. The girls truss bar was totally deleted in the late 50's.

My son, it's not that you have sinned but indeed who you have sinned WITH.

GO IN PEACE.

Miss Pankratz also considered it a sin to end a sentence with a preposition.

"My son, it's not that you have sinned but with whom you have sinned." LOL

PREposition, or PROposition?

One is before the fact and the other done correctly...

Now keep THAT under your parasol...

The only Corvettes I’m aware of in 1946 looked like this.
