Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Thought it would be cool to take pics of these two together, now that I have one of each.
It's cool how they're so much alike, yet so different at the same time.
While most companies were just slapping different badges on virtually identical bikes for different retailers, Murray was creating these works of art.

They scream 1950's. They look way cooler than a Phamtom, and seem to be much more scarce too.
They are heavy as can be, and yet you feel like you're floating on a cloud when riding one.
If you've never had the opportunity to own one, you should try to find one. They are great bikes.

Crap, I guess now I should get a Jet Flow too. Don't have the space right now though.

Pretty sweet .....
 
I once rode my x-53 in a vintage car & motorcycle cruise and the cops said GET THAT BIKE OUTA HERE.... I did NOT! - Actually got into a discussion with an OLD, from the era, man ( sheet I am an old man)- that said PHANTOMS RULE! Sweet ride!

I have a mercury that is the lil brother to the fleetline not quite as deluxe but the same basic bike- These Murrays are one of my few postwar faves (along with cwc, Monark super deluxe dual springer and hate to admit deluxe hornet or maybe even panther...swinns oh no!)
