Schwinn Seat question

[schwinnguyinohio]

I'm trying to figure out when middle weights had the 3 rivet seat , was it just 61

My 1960 Corvette had the 3 rivet. If memory serves it was a very late '60. It also had the Starburst badge which has been documented as showing up in late 1960. Sorry, not the greatest pic, but all I have access to right now.

3 rivet seats were 59-61.

The deluxe Mesinger beehive spring seat with three rivets was first used on the 58 models. This was a non monogramed seat and the white on the nose was slightly different. 1961 for the most part was the last year for the 3 rivets but there have been quite a few early 62 models that still had the 3 rivets. Here's a 58 three rivet Mesinger. Same seat as the 59-61 other than the S and white nose pattern
