Hey folks! I'm back! Apologies for my eBay hiatus.Okay, so what we have here is a new copy of the the Schwinn Middleweight Catalog Compilation 1955 - 1970. In short, this is the best guide book to Schwinn's Middleweight line ever published. It's 8.5" x 11", with a proper bookstore-quality paperback binding, and a full color interior. 100 pages! Plus, that cover! It's an M. Mathey original adapted from the '59 Dealer Catalog. This is a limited edition book, limited to 226 copies, and right now we're still under #100.Here's how this book works: All of Schwinn's Middleweight models are listed alphabetically. Every major model variation gets a page. So the Corvette gets 4 pages. The 1957 catalog page notes that the pictured configuration was typical of the 1955 - 1958 line, and that the '55 used a tan seat. Then there's a catalog scan of the girl's Corvette. The third Corvette page is a 1961, notes that the configuration was typical of 1959 - 1964. Notes that the 1965 Corvette II was similar and directs the reader to the Consumer Catalog pages in the back. The fourth Corvette page is a '62 and shows the 5 speed version and notes that this configuration was only offered in '61 and '62.And every model is treated the same way. Some only get one page, some get a couple pages, some get more. But they are all there, American to Typhoon. A read more
