Where are all the panthers?

-
I think the Panther .......

I think the Panthers are far less common than the Phantoms ... I like them both - but would rather ride the Panther since they are seen less often it seems ... great bikes though ... It seems everyone has a Phantom .....
 
Are these more rare or less popular?
Far more rare...Panther ballooners only made from 50 thru the 54 year. Phantoms were made from 49 -59. Then if you take a ton of B6's that have been cloned with repro parts in a Phantom they are everywhere. But yes, the short answer is 10 years of production vs 5 years of production.
 
What phantom said above ^^^. Plus I have the feeling that even in years when both models were available that the Phantom outsold the Panther. The Phantom was advertised more heavily, and I suspect that both kids and parents would tend to want to spend that extra bit of money to get the top of the line bike. Why get the Panther when you could get a Phantom for just a bit more?

That being said, I'm totally waiting for a green / green Panther to fall into my lap.

Cheers, Geoff
 
schwinn pholks will know the model number and years

but there was a painted version like b-6 was to phantom
I saw one called "deluxe hornet" like a panther in all respects but paint instead of chrome..
 
I can't find it any more but, last year on the net, I ran across a photo of an ad that was a Schwinn made repop, 1995 100th phantom framed, 1952-4 Panther paint scheme, made in 96 or 7, it was one sweet looking ride. Think it was green and black.

I agree the green/green is an awesome color combo!
