1963 Schwinn Traveler...Just Got It

-

HARPO

Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Why oh why would I go and buy this? One simple answer...the head badge. Plastic Starburst in almost mint condition. 😍

Also, the saddlebag...fenders...and pedals...maybe the saddle.

Plenty of rust as you can see. Some of the chrome is even peeling away from the rims which is why I got a very good price on this. But with the exception of a missing headlight, it's all original. Right down to the tires that still hold air. And from what I saw, the brake lever was an option that year on the coaster brake models. Still, it should clean up nicely. But the badge is what I really wanted! 🤪 Build date is June 6, 1963. (F320346)

Schwinn tires and a kick back rear hub. Your efforts are noble. Keep it until it is respected.

Sadly, it's not a kickback rear hub. Just a regular Bendix redline coaster brake hub. The kickback would have had the triple stripes.
