Produced circa 1948 until 1952, this Schwinn badged frame is powered by a new old stock 700 series Whizzer motor according to the consignor notes(included). This restored model with much of the assembly completed by the consignor is a rich maroon color with a dual white and red striping and white lettering. A springer type front fork, chrome rims with Goodyear 26 inch by 2.125 tires, chrome primary drive cover and exhaust, a black Deluxe Mesinger spring type seat and a painted luggage carrier completes this unit. Twist type throttle control with a lever compression release, lever type drive belt engage/release and front brake control. The front brake is an internal drum Schwinn brand with the rear wheel having a coaster type internal brake, a chrome side kick stand with a painted rear wheel lift provides parking stability. The engine serial number is 704414 and has never been run per the consignor notes and is fed through a Tillotson carburetor. There is an unreadable frame marking on the bottom of the pedal crank casing.

ConditionExcellent as restored with minor handling and storage marks. The tires look to be new.
