Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Im glad i turned you onto this bike. If i was closer, i would have picked it up myself. If you have a change of heart and decide to resell it, im your huckleberry.
As far as year, its either a 38 or possibly a 39. All the parts are correct for it. Looks to have had a delta defender taillight on it. Truss rods are correct as well. I doubt it ever had a tank. Unless it was a no nose. But i highly doubt it. The odd thing is the location of the wiring port on the front fender. It seems awfully low, angle wise. Usually they are at a 11 oclock position, yours looks like 9 oclock. Weird. Having that port means it had a battery tube, because if it had a tank, it would have to be a banana tank, but...banana tank bikes were earlier, and didn't have curved braced fenders....so....
Anyways, great score. I could use that front tire if you're willing to let it go. Thanks for sharing, and i hope ill see it on a Skid Kings ride when i come up there this summer.
