I'm the Wiz, and nobody beats me!
Here's some documented news and it never happened. So I guess you can't believe everything that's printed.
Two new models for 1960!
And no documentation on the price sheet!
These two new models were never produced.
But it says Dealers could order these from their Schwinn Distrubutor.
The fact remains, Schwinn did produce some Black Sting Rays. Will you find them in the Catalogs or the Reporter? Nope! A special order was placed, approved and then the order was filled.
I'm sure many of you have heard about Schwinn producing bikes for Mead and for Chicago Cycle Supply Co. This is a very simple case where a special order was placed for a model's color that was not standard, so nothing special had to be manufactured, purchased or supplied. The order very well could have been made by the sales rep or manager of the Distribution center that supplied the bikes for the Texas, Oklahoma Zone. There will be no public announcements of this production, so you'll have to dig real deep in the land fills for any documentation or try to contact the manager of the Distribution center that supplied these pieces to the Dealers.
