Interesting LaSalle Autocycle

[Nickinator]

You may have read the post of the two Autocycles we picked up last weekend (Sunday's finds); this is the 2nd one, that was not discussed. Had a number of Schwinn people weigh in on it at the swap on Sunday, and it seems this is an unusual bike. No one knows of another LaSalle Autocycle, Nick has never heard of another, in fact most thought LaSalle didn't make one, and this is clearly an Autocycle.

S/n looks like a T, anyone got another? Some interesting differences from the top tier Schwinn badged model. Any info/comments welcome.

I'm not sure if I understand what is being said here but LaSalle is only a badge. I'm sure Chicago Supply sold more than a few Autocycles given the size and scope of their operations.V/r Shawn

That's a Shelby sprocket... schwinn as far as I know had 3 holes where as the Shelby didn't have but one for the crank nipple... I think anyways lol

I don't think that's even a schwinn crank honestly

I have a T letter roadster that has a 36 crank in it. I'd definitely say it's a 36 . Especially with the steel double adjustable stem. Im trying to find the pics but I've seen two via internet that we're lasalle jewel tanks... just a badge in the end

Early 37 or super late 36 is my guess. 36 features with a 37 looking serial

Every real 36 I've seen has the big sloppy serial number, but that's just my experience.

Were they Autocycles, or Motorbikes? We know of some jewel tank LaSalle Motorbikes.
