I picked this up at one of the Spring swap meets. Its a 38 Schwinn Autocycle Deluxe Straightbar. I have wanted a prewar Schwinn In this color for a long time so when this one popped up I jumped on it. I traded the 47 Schwinn New World for this one. For me that was a fair deal, I like balloon tire bikes more than lightweights. This frame was apparently found in a Schwinn shop basement with 40 other  partially built NOS bikes/frames/parts. 

The first picture is how I got it, the pictures following that one are after a light wipe down with pledge and a nice re-chromed headset was installed.

This one will be a slow build so it may be a while before you see an update.
