Man they were cranking out the Paramounts in '72 -- over 1300 in one month! They only built 875 in '75 total (the year of my P-10). Talk about a Bike Boom ...

This frame has been repainted at some point as that is not a stock color and the glitter is not a '70s Schwinn thing either (except in Sting-Ray seats). But what a score!
