Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Just brought this little grouping of rust home.
As far as I can tell, it's around 1941 or so. For those with much more knowledge on this than me, please let me know.
This had been sitting on Craigslist for over two months at $275 with no takers. Only two photos were shown, so the owner sent me a few closeups that I requested so I could see just what I was going to be getting myself into. More rust than I had hoped for, but with that head badge, head light, Miller kickstand, truss fork and rods and tank I figured I'd go take a look.
Rims are complete toast as are the tires. And the handlebars are wrapped, he said, because it was losing chrome. He actually got it from the original owners house and had hung onto it for a few years...until today. I was actually able to get it for only $120, a great score in my book.
Let me know what you guys think...
