Schwinn DX Questions

Hello fellow Fresnan! Nice DX! The "GDD" license plate configuration on your Ford was from El Centro. Nothing better than getting a car with it's OG plates!

Hey there! I didn't realize the letters in the plate weren't just random. That's some good information.

The date on the crank is strange, on one side it's got the standard A.S.&Co and the other side appears to have a backwards 3 (possibly an 'E'?) 9 and a F inside a square.

Thanks for the link. I just added my photos there, hopefully they'll help someone.

Right on. I wonder if all '39 cranks are like that or if they 'corrected' it at some point?

Mine is corrected.

Mine is correct.

@ Jive Turkey I started reading this thread to check out the DX, but I'm more in to that killer Merc! Fantastic period correct drag car. Wild about the interior, I love it!

Thanks. I wanted to emulate what a young kid would have put together to street race in the late '60's or early '70's.
