My father purchased this Schwinn Deluxe in December 14, 1949. It was my Christmas present. I was 10 years old very proud of it and rode it nonstop for the next 8 years. I took it to University and road it to classes. For the last 40 years it has been in my shed with flat tires. I put new tires on and it rides great. It has a lot of rust and the lever and cable to the front brake are missing but drum and shoe seem to work. The tank with horn is held on by one screw and the lens in the light is missing. I'm sure that the horn and light do not work do to rust and corrosion. Original seat but just the rusty metal left. The new departure brake works poorly like all new departure brakes but it does work. It would be a great bike for restoration. I have the original Schwinn Guarantee and advertisement on Schwinn built tubular cycle rims. Originally it was purchased for a price of $76.50. It is a Chicago Schwinn built on July 15, 1949.
