Can Anyone Help Me With The History And Value Of My Schwinn Cadillac Bike?

[mikekennedy]

I believe this bike was pre-war. made by Schwinn and Chicago cycle manufacturing company. All original paint , hand grips, seat. And it still even had the key to the auto lock. Only thing missing is the chain to the s

kip tooth sprocket. In very good shape. Thank you in advance for any information.

No I know, just saying the 40 41 c mod had drop stand ears added. You said they stopped making them in 38 39... and I was just adding info. You are probably correct on the year of the brown one

I'll have to check the literature for 40/41. Been out of the loop for several years. You have my curiosity piqued!

Great looking bicycle.
What rear hub is on it?

Very nice bike!
That black rubber clip that is below the tank is actually the fork bumper and should be on the down tube, to keep the fork from contacting the other painted parts.
Those are usually missing, so your lucky to still have it.
Put it to good use, and it will save your paint.

You will have to dig deep. I've only seen it once in lit... I've seen 4 c mods with ears.. two had 40 cranks and 2 had 41 cranks...
