The Gold Standard Schwinn thread

[coasterbrakejunkie1969]

I just wanted to start a thread of only the Gold Standard of Schwinn not the silver or bronze but Gold. I'll kick things off with what some consider gold but it is actually called Coppertone. It is a Stingray the most iconic of all the Schwinn bikes. More people know the Stingray name then any other bike in their line.Lets see what other Gold Standard Schwinn items are out there.

Beautiful bike, I really love the Slimline tank bikes. I can not get into the peanut tanks for some reason.

Here is a bike that Schwinn actually called Radiant Gold. It's a '62 Superior.
This is not my bike, but I do have one. The paint on this bike is better than mine.
Although it looks like Coppertone in the pic, if you stand it next to a Coppertone bike you can see that it's a different color.
