The “3” Schwinn Violet colors from the 60’s

[Sparkplug]

Well, here are the best photos of the remaining original paint on my April 1967 Deluxe Stingray. I don’t see the flecks in the paint.

Sparkplug,

I‘m not sure what you have there?
Just out of curiosity, what is the stamped date at the inside bottom of fork?

My KB Violet Stingray is ready to roll.

This ‘66 Deluxe is a duplicate to the New one I had as a 12 year old back in Illinois. That’s the reason I purchased this KB in 1999.
The last thing I remember about my Original ‘66 was painting it fluorescent green with a rattle can and homemade fork extensions.
Then the automobile took over my interest.

Notice on my Original Stingray a Whitewall Yellow Oval Slik. I had to have a Slik. Those were the coolest tire ever!
Also, colored hand grips.

The photos are of the fork tube where there was overspray when they painted the forks. I don't see any flecks in the paint.

At least now we know what you look like after all these years! Nice concrete work also. Thanks for all the help you've given me over the years. You've seen my MB Violet, very similar but with a two speed and '67 bars.

Nick,
That’s my Dads ‘65 Mustang and my Moms ‘67 Buick Wildcat.

Hey Jahmeer,

Beautiful Violet Deluxe Blue band.

So an MB (Dec. ‘66), basically a 67. Are those turn down / fastback bars dated?
Those bars first came out in mid-year ‘66.
They came on the first Stick Shift Stingrays (3 speed) like my Coppertone.

Yeah, I figured it was a 67 model. It’s been so long since I had it apart to detail it I can’t remember about the handlebar date. I’ll have to take a peak soon.
I took that picture right after I detailed it. The spot behind it has had nice landscaping for years now, of course here in Michigan the plants have run their course for the year, peak fall colors about now but way overrated compared to Cali.
