Prewar Cwc Tall Tank Questions

Oh wow. Was that awesome reverse paint job hiding under all that yellow? Looks awesome!

Unfortunately, no.
No paint could be saved.
A donor ladies 41 "A" and some magic provide the illusion

Looks great, seems like all the OG ones are Maroon/cream ( opalescent or opaque ) any other og paint colors out there, any color under that rust @nateyboy, I still have that repaint I stated this thread with, I'd like to try a different color but OG.

The one I'm working on now, was also maroon , unfortunately it had two repaints and no OG paint left

Just wondering how many of these Tall Tanks have a horn, seems like most don't but found this old ad here?https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/prewar-roadmaster.34787/

Also of note, the bike is not equipped with the Shockmaster fork .
The catalog lists they came with horn in tank , but both my WFs do not have a horn

The last picture originally with no-cleaning/ rust removed.I believe this is the same bike in his forum other than mine has a few oddities.Like first the color second mine has a horn(not working yet).I am missing springs, the front forks, and the front head light.I have the front rim and fender it is on it now but this is older picture. Also another oddity is the badge says Packard and not western flyer.And as far as my knowledge on it goes, everything is original.

@Sharke, I have only seen Tall Tanks with WF or Roadmaster badge, any sign of a name on either side of the tank, on the white between the lines?

 

[Sharke]

No name or anything to signify what it called on tank that I can see.I also looked inside no letter or marking to tell me what it called.
