'59 White Corvette

[indiana dave]

I know this is an old thread, but figured I'd add to it.
Picked this up in a package deal a few weeks ago.
Just ot around to doing anything with it, including researching it.
Wow! I knew I had never seen a white Schwinn middleweight, but had no idea this one was so rare.
I'm going t oclean it up, put new tubes in the tires, lube all the beaings, replace the cables, as necessary, and find a correct rack and headlight for it and ride it.

Way cool.looks in good shape.I have a registry of sorts on the other forum,but haven't added your bike.I was thinking of starting it here.I might have a decent front rack laying around,but have to check again as I sold some parts at a swap meet the other day.send a PM if interested and I'll look as soon as possible.

One of the few Schwinn's on my wish list; the white Corvette!

May I suggest you please remove the rear rack on the white vette. I don't mean to tell you what to do. I just like to see the bikes how they were offered by Schwinn. No offense please.

That particular white Vette was sold a long time ago.
Here is another one owned by a member and for sale as far as I know.

"Most times, something is rare because it did not sell well when first offerred. In other words it was not well liked, popular or desireable."
Just like hot pink Hot Wheels from the 60's... No boys wanted them back then, but now they're generally the most valuable. I've got a couple in my collection.
(Pink Hot Wheels, that is)
