Look Ma, No Hands!
Today's find: Serial # L042292 indicates 11/29/1960, Panther 3. To me it looks correct and complete minus the tank. I am no expert, so any input appreciated. A bit weathered. I wondered if there are lenses available for those lights if it turns out that is all they need? They are plastic lights. Thanks for your help

Go to your local hardware store and look for cheap flashlights. I found on one time that had new lens and reflector. Worked perfectly.
 
With a frame stamping date of 11/29/1960, this bike was probably sold as a 1961. Next year’s bikes were built to be under the Christmas tree. No kid would want a “new” bike that would be last year’s model in 7 days.

I have the same bike. Yours is more complete. Mines just a frame and tank at the moment. Same color.
