'39 5-Bar (actual barn find) finally all cleaned up

[Freqman1]

I promised Shawn S. I would share pics a while back so I took these shots this evening.
Really came out great. This belongs to my father who actually pulled it out of an airplane hanger in upstate NY in 2005.

Your dad is very lucky! That's in amazing shape! I own a 5 bar, but would love to find one cheap in a barn.

Not cheap...free!
It was an auction to clean out a
Small airport which had been in operation since the 1930's. This bike may very well have spent its whole life there.
No one had any interest in the bike so my dad was able to roll it out of there for nothing when the sale was over.
