I obtained this 40 from (rust trader) here on the cabe a few years back. It is a nice original unrestored example. Believe it may be one of the nicest ones around in that catagory.

Got this Phantom from a local auction. It had been sitting for a long time, with some goofy parts. Got it cheap, made it more original, and now it's one of my favorite riders.

This is one of the nicest original Schwinns I have ever been fortunate to be able to buy. It came from a CABE member in St. Louis just a few months ago. A new lense for the light, four new batteries (horn and light), a new replacement horn, new pedal rubbers, and new seat vinyl and it is now a very nice bike. I have also learned to to keep all the original removed parts just in case....

I FOUND THIS SUPER DELUXE 1941 SCHWINN AUTOCYCLE FIVE BLOCKS FROM MY HOME.

I WAS APPROACHED AT A VILLAGE CAR SHOW BY ONE OF THE SONS WHO SAW
ME RIDE MY B6. "HEY ! WE HAVE ONE OF THOSE IN OUR GARAGE THAT WAS OUR FATHERS."
IT WAS PURCHASED FOR HIS FATHER WHEN 15 YEARS OLD IN 1941.
AFTER PATIENCE AND FOUR MONTHS OF PERSUASION WAS ABLE TO SEE AND BUY IT.

THE BIKE WAS STORED HUNG UPSIDE DOWN IN THE SONS GARAGE FOR OVER 30 YEARS.
IT HAS 232 ORIGINAL MILES ON THE SPEEDO, ORIGINAL TIRES AND NEVER DISASSEMBLED.
I PASSED IT ON TO A SPECIAL FRIEND SEVEN YEARS AGO, WHO HAS KEPT IT UN-REHABBED
OR CLEANED SINCE THEN. HE WON HONORS FOR BEST UNRESTORED AT ANN ARBOR SHOW.
