My balloon bikes 1935-6 Shelby Cadillac and 50s Firestone Super Cruiser

[55chevy]

I've had these bikes since around 1990, 1935? Shelby Cadillac full stainless fenders, glass reflector and a 50s Firestone Super Cruiser with chrome frame. (Not for sale, retirement projects)

Were the frames chrome & painted, or did someone chrome this one? How easy is it to find springer strut rods and a tank? I think I have a chainguard somewhere, dang we have too many houses. A pic I had a long time for inspiration

What is the Shelby serial number? Photo would tell you the year. It looks 2b 1935...maybe. Could be 1934...or early 1936 as well...

I don't have Ser No it's 16 hours away. Leon Dixon long time ago said he thought it was a 1935 now that I think about it.
