Few changes since I first posted it in this thread. New saddlebags, more period correct license plate(our province never had those type but I wanted one on it), rear rack, new saddle.. Been my around town bike for over a year now. Always gets commented on.

Not so rusty, but patina for days. 1936 Shelby. Repainted sometime in the 40’s with a hot rod vibe to it

Love that Shelby!

Mine kinda falls into that category also - not so rusty, but definitely well worn and patina’d.

Pretty much as it was given to me, just pulled off front basket and gave it a wash.

Here it is at the 2015 Coffee Clunker ride in Green Bay, WI.
Added tires tubes, greased and adjusted BB, rebuilt the ND coaster, added "better" old Troxel seat, cool spinning bell and neat old glass reflector.:)
Is that a Willys truck cab?
