Wore out three sets of tires already!
Just a follow-up on a couple things, Stingray related.
I had a nice gentleman (CABE member) reach out to me about Schwinn frame codes.
His question pertains to the 1964 and 1965 years.
The 1964 serial number - first character is the month / second character is “4”. (E4 = May 1964)
The 1965 serial number - first character is the month / second character is “A”. (HA = Aug. 1965)
The remaining numbers (from 1963 - early 1966) will tell the daily log of manufacture.
This information is what I have, there may be additional info available for ‘66 and beyond.
This information pertains to the 2 speed Overdrive rear hub (3 Blue Band).
There is no Schwinn listing in the consumer catalog or master parts catalog in 1964 about this Overdrive hub.
The first mention of availability on this New 2 speed Blue Band in the catalogs was January 1965.
Obviously these cool new ‘65 hubs show up on a 63/64 Stingray that was added by a dealer or owner at some point.
Here is some Schwinn literature and photos of my J39-1 CA = March ‘65 and HA = Aug. ‘65 that came with the Overdrive and front caliper brake.
