Hello Amy welcome to the forums. Great looking old city cruiser! I am not expert but something tells me this is from the late '50s at the begining of the "Jet Age"
The Boeing 707 debuted in '58 I believe along side of the infamous KC-135 it was derived from.
I think he may right that is a cool rack! I like the jet inspired design of the cross braces. I think often times these old racks were simply removed or damaged and broken by being used as back seats.
I would not worry too much about finding maintenance tips on this exact model but basic bike maintance will suffice. It does look like an oil port on the hub does this have a 'kick' multispeed hub? A reel to reel? You will fit in great with this trogladite crowd!
well guys? Oil port or fancy Zerk?
