Pre War Schwinn DX - Post 'em!!!!

[PCHiggin]

This very late '40 (by s/n) has it's own thread here, but will add it to this one. We got it from the original owner, Dona, some years ago, she was in her 80's. We were was thrilled to have a few pics of her with it when she was a kid.

Note the reverse paint rack and guard.

What a great find. The history and pics coupled with the different paint scheme really make this one cool to me.

Here's the 39 DX I recently found. I finally got it " all cleaned up." I'm still looking for a similar drop center rim for the rear wheel to lace the original hub to.

Here's my '41. I added the pedals, grips, miller stand and tires/tubes. Think everything else is original, even still has the EA horn.

When I got it:

Cleaning it up:

All done. Still crusty, but I saved the paint that was left. Since there's not that much paint on most of the bike, I went with the blue tires. I like how it turned out.

Love this bike. ...
