Yeah, very strange.
The point of purchase decal on the frame is from Los Angeles.
Could that be an abstract LA off to the left of the number stamps?
Just a thought.

I was thinking that also, but dismissed that idea until you look at it from the correct angle. So if that's a piece to this puzzle, then the serial number 03 whoops 4 could possible be one of the first post war numbers?

That’s what I was thinking too.

Wore out three sets of tires already!
i bought fatbikes 58/59 road paramount ,just a thought since the wastyn folks built this frame , you might ask them if they have any information .they still have a schwinn dealership in chicago ill i would call them if it was my frame what is the worst that can happen ? you might start out by offering to buy any correct parts that they may still have for the bike ! that might motivate them to dig thru their records ! just a thought

Finally riding a big boys bike
Or, if you rotate the photo 180, it would be 430 with an upside down 3...this would make more sense in terms of the frame details (squared lugs, flat angled seat stay caps, etc). I'd propose the 'LA' appears to be unrelated to the serial number, as the "A" stamp is smaller and serif free; I think the true early 'A' frames have the 'A' being slightly larger than the numbers, and with serifs on the bottom legs. Also, I think the earlier 'A' serials had the '3' as a fully curved number, while the later three-digit series without the 'A' had the '3' with a pointed top and curved bottom font...will have to check to verify that, however. FWIW....(addenda) I looked at all the 400 numbered Paramounts that I have serial number photos of (11 of them) and in every case the number is read as if the bike was standing upright on the rear wheel (bottom of the numbers towards the rear axle), which reinforces my assumption that this is 430 with an upside down 3.

Thanks, for posting the point of purchase decal.
It’s always interesting to see where these bikes originated from.
Unfortunately, it looks like, Danny’s Cycle City is long gone.
That location looks to be the only newer construction on the intersection of, Beverly Blvd. and Harvard Blvd.
Here’s a view of the four corners at that intersection.
The Taco shop across the street looks pretty handy.
So, there you have it.
At least you know, where your bike came from.
Not too far from where I’m at.
I’ll have to stop by the Cactus Taqueria the next time I’m up that way, and have a taco in honor of Danny’s Cycle City.
