20" Schwinn Hollywood

[Pirate.Jim]

What does anyone know about Schwinn and the 20" Hollywood bike? I recently came across a small Hollywood with 20" wheels. I know I've seen a ton of these in the 26" size but this is the first I've seen this small. Did Schwinn make these for just a few years? I don't have any photos yet but would be glad to post some when I get some pics taken.

HOLLYWOOD sizes

they built them in..16",20",24", & 26" versions.
i know this only because my cousin has a HOLLYWOOD collection in his familyroom.
all four sizes.its the only bicycles he owns.
he is a motion picture memorbilia collector.
he says he has these because they say HOLLYWOOD.

Thanks. Appreciate the information. Just trying to figure out whether it makes sense to try and restore.

Pictures....

Here are some pics of the 20" Hollywood I came across. Don't know if the seat and bars are original but the seat is a Schwinn seat. Would appreciate any info about the 20" bike. I've seen tons of 26" but this is the first 20" I've run across.

Don't think I've ever seen a Hollywood that wasn't a chic bike.
