Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Picked up this Starlet over the weekend. Noticed it had "Schwinn Straight Side Tornado" tires, which I have never seen or heard of before.
Did some research and can't find much about the tires, other than they are an early S7 tire, and were used in '55-'56 and possibly early '57.
Really only posting this because of these tires, to help educate others like myself who have never heard of them.
Unfortunately, the rack and fender light are missing, along with the original grips and pedals. I asked if maybe the rack and/or light might be laying around somewhere, but the lady didn't think so. She said if she does find them, she'd give them to me. It belonged to her 94 year old aunt who she said saved everything. So maybe there's a chance lol.
The serial number is difficult to read, but looks like R40936.
Here's a few pics.
