Looking for Miss America

Here's my '39, waving the flags. Very close to the original two tone blue. I've added the rack since this photo.

With all that metal on the back, guessing they might be a bit heavy?

Men's or ladies bikes if they are that cool looking like those it doesn't matter to me.

They are portly broads. I was afraid after all that work, my girl was going to despise riding hers. To my amazement, she say's it's one of her easiest riding bikes. Thank God!

Please forgive my ignorance. Why "Miss America?" Was it the Elgin model name, a nickname when new, a nickname among collectors, or ??

Pretty sure it was a nickname back then. Think that it was technically the Elgin deluxe something. They are really cool bikes, I'm loving them.

The 41 Sears catalog said it was the " Miss America " of the bicycle world! so think that's how it started.
