Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Picked this up from a member...thanks Todd.
Started it's breakdown this week and to verify the original color.
It is obvious it was a deep red but, over time the frame and some parts has faded (or darkened to a mocha brown) from years of oxidation (possibly).
The darker color change is throughout on both sides so sunlight fading is doubtful. However unexposed areas of the frame (bottom of bottom bracket and what was covered by the tank) still reveals red.
I'm guessing the front red fender is original but, who knows for sure. Obviously the rear fender was replaced. That fender needs to be replaced with a match to the front.
I was surprised that this was a standard pitch. Just assumed it would be skiptooth for a Westfield Motobike.
This one will be a challenge with the assorted colors...but who doesn't like a challenge.
No plans to repaint...I rarely do repaint.
Wished this winged tank graphic was more vibrant
Interesting tank retainer mounting bracket
The montage of colors
A little WD40 bath
Looking for the following parts:
-"Westfield" rectangle headbadge
*Dropstand and clip
*Matching red rear fender
*Matching red rear rack
*Slide rail seat
*Horn assembly
*Fender light
It's all about the Tanklights!!
How did I run out of room so fast?
