Recently acquired this Schwinn Cycle Truck
Serial number dates it to 1965,
Obviously missing the basket and brackets. Color doesn't appear to be original. Handle bars and grips(?)
The child bicycle seat (Schwinn) was removed.
Everything else appears to be original.

The 65 catalog says it only came in red. It was expensive! $780 in today's dollars.

Heavy duty frame, special heavy duty wheels with 120 gauge spokes, balloon tires, heavy duty saddle, choice of basket. Large basket, 28" x 22" x 11". Small, 24" x 16" x 11". Metal sign for identification.
Flamboyant red only.

  • CT1 Cycle Truck, small basket.....$90.00
  • CT2 Cycle Truck, large basket.....$95.00
 
I thought cycle trucks had more angled bars, but the 65 illustration shows that you might have the right bars, but the grips would have been black on a red bike.

I'm jealous. I've been looking for one for awhile. I'd love it as a grocery getter and a way to take the dog to the dog park and get a ride in.

Alas, I gave up and ordered a Raleigh Lorry yesterday.
