Of note, is the Huffman type “sweetheart” chainring, the smaller type “Tombstone” rear fender reflector.( I stand corrected on my earlier statement, that only the larger type was used on the Fleetwood Supreme.)
And the unusual dropstand clip.
What a beauty!
 
Did they come equipped with Firestone branded tires? I looked closely at the pics on this page. They all seem to have this interesting tread pattern. Anyone know what these were called?

The 1937/38 catalog just lists them as Fleetwood Tires & Tubes.

I can’t say that I’ve ever seen a Fleetwood branded bicycle tire?
Anybody ever seen them, or have any pictures to post?
