~:1936 Schwinn AutoCycle:~ PIC HEAVY

[Flying Zombie]

Well, I've been really in and out of the hobby the past five or six months, its been even longer since I really felt frequent here.
Close to a year by now, maybe. My last post was a '47 Monark Rocket 24" [First year for those] to get info with literally not a single reply to the post and inquiry.

Hopefully I can rekindle my name here a little with this recent find from Yesterday. 9/18/16

~::1936 Schwinn AutoCycle::~
Bought from the first owners son, The Original owner is STILL ALIVE. [98yrs!] and a WW2 vet!
Everything is Stock OG outside the Paint [repainted ages ago], The grips [which were switched out for Twin Horn Push Button Grips *era?*] and the Tires. [One Allstate, One Wards].
Admiral Badge

Missing: Battery Cage and Tank Horn Unit and Speedo Cable.

The HEAVIEST of the FZ Stable.

Oh Whuttafind! You're flying First Class now Zombie.

Thanks SO so much. I think so too and only recently admitted some months ago I have a Little room in my Rusty heart for a Few Schwinn Models like late 20's early 30's Motobikes., but this was on a level I never even considered.

Sure is a big deal hearing that from you, knowing the stuff you post!

Whats Up Partner! I hoped youd post here with me!
I just had so much LIFE going on lately, its been hard to do much of anything with my own pages let alone be a frequenter anywhere for a while.
I sure do plan to keep it pretty much as found outside of Bringing back functionality to the Electric, but mechanically speaking, I want it as close to that first sight of it I had,. minus the cobwebs haha

Thank you! Im all in this for the VERY rare occasional ride at car shows and bike events as well as learning process. I couldnt imagine selling it just yet but there may come a day. Just hard to consider letting something I may only ever have one of go. I do have a reasonable Idea of value, but not one based on exact certainties. just within a pretty concise range.

 

[Flying Zombie]

That's a good start to a retirement plan. Don't let the lowballers talk you out of that one too cheap!

Shes a rider for now, CB!
I have a good feeling that'll be the case for a while, but I'll be sure to check with you fellers on comfortable value before that day comes to sell if I do.

Thanx for the Props. Congratulations on your find of a lifetime, I'm truly envious, one of the holy grails of Bicycle enthusiasts. Your one lucky Chap ! Also looks like your post is blowing up the Thread !

Youre More than deserving of the Kudos. Youre one cool guy with one very Selective Stable anyone would be proud to have just a piece of.
Its no Bluebird, but it sure feels like it

Just enjoy the "Coolness" of owning and riding it. Money has never been the primary reason to obtain these bikes for me.

 

[SIXPACKMOPAR]

Very nice ride , I'm jealous !!

That speedo in the handlebar crossbrace thing is just about the best bicycle part ever...
