Isn't it? It's not correct (believe it came off a '35 Silverking), but it's pretty damn cool.
Picked this up last week for a song; nice to know there are still a few treasures around to be found on the cheap. '37 Hawthorne. [ATTACH]...
Picked these two up a couple of weeks ago. A '63 Mainliner (believed to have been built by Huffy) and a '58 Hornet. I'm going to fix the Hornet...

I joined the CABE a few months ago, great site, great resource.
And while I'm thinking about it, here's my '46 Schwinn DX. Rescued this from my father-in-law's garage a few years ago. Based on the smurf blue...

Here's my latest project-- a '59 Schwinn Jaguar Mark IV. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Well, it's not quite finished-- fighting with the three-speed shifter cable-- but it was so nice a few nights ago that I had to wheel her out to...
I've always loved old bicycles, but after cruising around town on a sixties Schwinn Typhoon during college, I never owned another one. Until this...
Most people look at me like I'm crazy for wanting to vacation in Detroit, but you've nailed exactly why I want to go. Along with a trip to...

Keep the fenders and the top; big 'n' little steelies; ditch the bumpers, the exposed spare, and the hood. Detail the flattie (yeah, that's an...
Steelies and poverty caps on a refrigerator-white Chevy II is about as good of a Sleeper as you can get. Very nice looking ride.
I love mid-fifties Fords, and definitely prefer them to comparable year Chevys, will definitely be following. You maybe already know of him, but...
Beautiful build. And Happy Belated Birthday from a fellow 7 May baby.

Captured this image this past Saturday. Not mine, but I'd happily lose a digit for it. [ATTACH]
Right?
My pleasure, happy to do so.
Kingsburg is a little hamlet about 25 miles south-by-southeast of Fresno in the Central Valley. Famous for it's Swedish-themed downtown, it also...
