Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Posting some pix of a very rare Schwinn model...last year I believe for the BC bicycle with the more modern
1940 features and 1st year non-embossed straight bar EA button tank with fantastic graphics. Very few of
these bikes known and this one is in exceptional condition. Was complete and mostly correct when purchased
needed only pedals (had postwar panther peds), one screw for the rear carrier, reflector for the rack and
the 6 hole rack clamp bracket which miraculously I had in RED orig paint. The past owner intended to
polish up the wheels and accidentally rubbed off one of the Lobdell ink stamps...fortunately the other survived.
Just a great bike... I've owned too many Schwinns over the years but never had a nice complete 40' model BC
like this one.
Enjoy!
