Lucky find!!! Super Chief!

[Marc's Classic Chrome]

This is a pretty rare gambles Hiawatha super chief from the late 1930s I believe. It is so hard to even find a photo to compare. It is obviously made by Shelby and named after the super chief locomotive. Original paint makes it so surprisingly nice.

I was thinking about waxing it to bring back some of the luster, maybe lightly clean with wd 40 first?

Anyone know anything else about this bicycle? Does anyone have one? Any other pics?

I'd be interested to see the serial number. Seems to be pretty standard fare for Shelby during this time frame. A little (careful) detailing would make this bike pop. V/r Shawn

Late 30’s? If you still have the bike I would appreciate a close up of the seat and serial number?
