1952 Schwinn Autocycle

[FlyingHigh]

I'm excited about my newly acquired 1952 Schwinn Autocycle. I purchased it from the great nephew of the original owner. It has the coolest patina! It also has gillette tires which I discovered Schwinn put on some of their bikes during that era. The Handlebars, sprocket, and wheels appear more aluminum than steel/chrome. This the last year of the autocycle and my best vintage acquisition to date.

I would assume that's a wee bit older with that style fork. Is the serial number on the drop out?

surprisingly that fork lasted to the end of the BA607 run...they eventually grew larger diamter "eyelet" holes
to accomodate the fatter / later style truss rods.

Hi, Yes it is on the dropout. The serial number is E66355.

Thanks for the info. I always have trouble differentiating between forks.
