I picked up some ugly ones this week, but the price was right!

The Deluxe Cruiser had a rough top Phantom seat core, a nice pair of Lightning Dart Whitewalls, and a pair of Torrington 10s on it. The front wheel is from the 50s, but it just so happens that I already bought the front wheel that came on it from the same guy. Ha
Swapped the reflector pedals from the girls, put some knobby tires on along with a Person's seat and some grips and it at least looks right again.

I only brought the girls bike home for the crank set, bearings, and fork, but the upper fender bridge is a bit puzzling. The rest of the features point towards lateish 1957 build, but there's not any original paint or primer left either, so who knows if this bridge was brazed on later.
