Description:

Introduced in 1948 with Carter carburetor, twist throttle and compression control instead of the lawn mower type lever controls and a new dual spring telescopic front fork. The motor has a serial number of J244281. According to the consignor notes(included), this unit was restored in the early 1990s and painted a dark maroon with cream embellishments, lettering and striping. Included in this restoration is a chrome exhaust pipe and primary drive belt cover, 24 inch by 2.125 Schwinn Typhoon Cord front and rear white wall tires, a black Whizzer spring type seat with a chrome luggage carrier and chrome chain guard. The rear wheel has a Schwinn coaster internal type brake and no front brake, and a side mount bicycle type kick stand complements the rear wheel lift stand.

Rating Definition:

Excellent as restored with only minor handling and storage marks. The tire sidewalls are beginning to show some age cracking but should not affect the ride at this point.
