1955 Schwinn Corvette 3 speed, and unique seat

Can believe no one has shown interested in these. I guess preserving them for such a long time does not pay pay off. This one has the west-wind tires, nice chrome S-7 wheels, stainless fenders. Here in Virginia looks like there are no collectors.

It's a beautiful bike, all original '56 model, with all the proper accessories! But, every style has it's fans, and once you move away from the equipped classic ballooners, the fan group shrinks.

The 54 issued Corvettes didn't use that 1955 issue seat.

Was that brown seat on his bike used on other models and years? Was '55 the only year it was on the corvette?

It's a nice bike. The fenders look a little rough. Maybe there would be more intrest if the price was lowered a bit. I've owned numerous middleweights over the years and rarely do they command over $400-$500 in the nicest shape.
