Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Hello, I'm searching for pictures of a Schwinn Admiral with the Admiral Wieboldt badge just like the one pictured below. Thank you for any help. Barry

I LOST MY FIRST SCHWINN B6 OUTSIDE THE WOOLWORTHS STORE
ACROSS THE STREET FROM WIEBOLDTS! MY BIKE WAS SANS CYCLE LOCK
AND I WENT INTO THE STORE FOR SOME MINOR PURCHASE AND WHEN
I CAME OUT THE BIKE WAS MISSING (STOLEN). I HAD MY CHAIN AND LOCK
WRAPPED AROUND THE SEAT POST BUT NOT LOCKED TO A STREET POST.

IT WAS A HARD LESSON TO BE LEARNED. MY NEXT SCHWINN HAD A CYCLE
LOCK TO BE SURE, BUT I ALSO USED MY CHAIN AND LOCK TO TO SECURE IT.
 
I remember Wiebolt's well. We lived on the outside edge of Cook County, west of Chicago. There were no high-end stores that far west. A couple times a year, we'd make a trip to Wiebolts. They had an escalator. Schwinn made bikes for Wiebolts. For the life of me I can't remember the name of their bikes. It might have been the "Firebolt" or something like that. That was a long time ago. I stole my first bike from there. It was a fairly new Black phantom. It was chained to a street post that didn't have a sign on it. Dad helped me lift it up, chain and all, over the post. We tossed it into the back of Dad's 38 Olds sedan and away we went. . . ;) Dad did have a 38 Olds though. . .
 
In 1965 I got a Schwinn Typhoon from Wiebolts… it was a department store that offered S&H green stamps. They even had a candy department. Sweet! Meadowdale shopping center, Carpentersville, Illinois.

Remind me to not leave my phantom unattended at the next show...

I know they sold Schwinn bicycles with the Admiral badge. They may have another badge named maybe Firebolt? That's a lead. Thank you. Barry
