1957 Schwinn Phantom code B58767

[Ajuddy]

It is definitely either a phantom or a B6. Really the only differences are chrome fenders on the phantom, painted on the b6,
Both had different paint schemes and the seats were different. This bike has a phantom seat. Does not necessarily mean it's a phantom, as it could have been changed at some point.
It's hard to tell what's going on there with so many layers of paint, but the red and white does not look like the original paint to me.
I see some green in there, is it possible that might be the original paint? It's hard to tell from the pics. The combination of green paint, green grips and phantom seat makes me think it could be a green phantom.
Looks like it's all there so it's a good starting point for a project.

Edit: I thought that looked like a schwinn grip when I was looking at it on my phone. Now that I'm looking at it on the computer, it looks like it may not be a schwinn grip.

Hi jay
I actually got down to the base color by the front sprocket. The base is a darker green. The grips are not original but at least now I have a starting point

What are the color combos for this year bike. I just bought one that has been repainted a couple of times over the years. As I get down to the base coats the two colors are white and red. Was these colors an option in 1957?

Yeah man, the white and red was the most popular and it is what most of the restored ones are today.

Green and cream/white was probably the most prevalent color combo on these. V/r Shawn

Bike deserves a proper and full on correct restoration.

Start spending major bucks now!

You'll be well on your way with only a few more thousand to spend to give the bike the treatment it deserves!
