J4 Lime Super Deluxe

[60sstuff]

Nice Super Deluxe Stingray.

J4 (Sept. 1964) is an early S/D considering this model was introduced in July ‘64.

There’s something about Flamboyant Lime that gets that spider rust in the paint, very common on this color.
Still a good looking Lime.

I prefer the fender less models & add a springer

The price on this is totally fricken absurd.

Wow, I guess he seen the 64 Lime SD and thought his was worth that, hum wonder what my Aug 64 Lime blk wall Slick Super Deluxe would go for

The lime is arguably the best color Schwinn produced !

Ya best for me because that’s what I owned when I was a kid, a used early 64 lime standard although Opal Violet was my first choice for the Christmas Bike/present that fell thru but that’s a whole other story that I’ve told here before

The two years that Schwinn offered the coolest colors was 1964 / 1965.
These colors were Flamboyant Lime, Radiant Coppertone, Sky Blue, Terra Cotta, Red and my personal favorite Opal Violet.

Opal Violet was offered from around Feb. ‘64 through Feb. ‘65.

Below is a photo of an Original paint K4 (Oct. 7, 1964) Super Deluxe taken with overcast skies that makes for an awesome look of the Opal Violet.

Yeah, for sure!
My vote is for Opal Violet.
That color on the showroom floor must have just jumped out of the lineup.
