I smell a rat

[menzorro]

I scored a 1950 Schwinn "future rat rod" and it also had an old Person siren in the rear basket. It's going to need a bit of work but isn't that the fun part

Nice find looks like the front fender is on backwards.

 

[tnt1]

Its looks like it might be a black or red phantom. If it is its worth some serious money

It is on backwards and it's also not the correct fender.

it looks like it might be a black or red phantom

How can you tell by the looks ?
I asked in another section what the differences were in Phantoms and other simular styled bikes and was told that they are the same bike with different trim options. So, according to that, any restored B6 could be a Phantom if you wanted it to be. Is that correct ?

 

[tnt1]

Well the springer front fork the chain guard the sprocket are phantom items and the front drum brake

 

[menzorro]

I found one reference that listed the front drum as a Phantom only accessory and then on that same site there was a picture of a black Phantom with no front brake.
I am totally confused now.
Thanks for your help tnt1.
I'm going to take it to my local Schwinn dealer for ID. They are a 3rd generation Schwinn dealer and actually I got a Schwinn Corvette for Christmas from them in 1959.
