Many folks are into the original paint and parts (collection) thing, especially with a more commonly found item.
Others value the older frames, parts and accessories, regardless the expense of restoration repaint avoided on essentially a beach cruiser.

Swastika?? I missed it ...

It looks like one to me.

Oh down there. I only looked for it elsewhere, in more obvious places.

I'm still toying with the idea of adding a tank to it ...

CWC tanks might look similar to Snyder, Rollfast or Excelsior-built Hawthorne tanks, so be careful with your selection.

Better photo of cleaned your Serial Number ... I'm seeing what really looks like a "C" with a "w" inside of it.

You have a 1949 there. Cw series, H serial number.

Clearly a 1949 from the Cw series, which is in the blue area on the serial number chart I posted higher up in this thread. Nice bike. My 1951 all original CWC Fleet Wing has the same rear rack.

What about Adi's S/N area symbols in the bb? See post 542.

Kinda looks like someone who owned it added those odd stuff markings. Maybe a "German influenced" cryptic security marks? Since it's been repainted, it's likely they did some of their own customization. That bike is an H in the Cw series. Easy to figure out on the chart.

I just acquired a Roadmaster Luxury Liner. The earliest ads that I have seen for one are November or December of 1947, yet the serial number seems to suggest second quarter of 1947. Edit: A bit of time with the Dremel revealed that there is a "CW" after the number. More photographs here.
