Schwinn Heavyweight, loaded
I found this being advertized.
It's not on CL or Ebay but an Estate Sale.
There are many anitques so will probably draw a lot of interest.
Looks to be in great condition.
Anybody know what it is?

Maybe an early sixties Jaguar? The model should be on the chainguard and the serial number should tell the year.
If it's a Jaguar, it's missing the front carrier.

Looks like a basic model that someone put a tank and rack on. I don't think Schwinn ever sold a model with painted fenders and a tank. Also on models that would have had the tank as original equipment, the Schwinn logo wouldn't also be on the top tube. Also very strange to see a model with a coaster brake and hand brakes. Some value in parts for sure (I've been looking for three years for one of those rear racks for a decent price), but it's definitely a goofy franken-build.

Also you would never see a bike from this era stock Schwinn or otherwise with a chromed tank and painted fenders wheels. It would allmost all painted or chromed not some chrome some paint. Also the white wheels don't appear to be Shcwinn. Considering the mix of non original stuff on a lesser model maybe $100 or so in value likely the estate seller will not realize it's a bit of a Frankenbike and ask 3x that.
