Here's a real interesting one. Not mine, it belongs to an old friend. It was his grandfather's and has been garaged for quite some while. He wanted a bike to ride around the neighbourhood with his children, and thought this one would be fun. Schwinn Panther III. Although the bike looks incomplete, it's actually in pieces; the "gas" tank, including the electronic horn, is complete. Original seat broken, missing a spoke, a lens cover on one of the lights. Chrome need polish; but as you can see, some bronze wool brought it quickly back to life. It's likely earlier than the 66 liscence plate would suggest; I'll date it tonight. We'll be working on it over the summer and hopefully bring it back. It should be fun, though I can't get as goofy as I can with the Paris Sport.

There's another bike from this period coming, the plate on it is from 1955.
