CWC Roadmaster?

[BrennonJ]

Hello, I recently purchased this old Roadmaster and am not sure what I have exactly. I sports a CWC badge so I do believe it to be pre-1950. It seems to be fairly complete, possibly missing a light. I cannot find any photos of late 40's Roadmasters to compare. Should this have a tank? Any help you can give would be appreciated.

Thank you, Brennon

I think its 50-54. Check the serial number under the bottom bracket

Thanks guys,

The serial number appears to be j34485AC with a W in the C.

That red paint is really bright. I wonder what brand they used? Almost looks flourescent. Gary

Hello,
I am still trying to find a few things for this. I found a correct chainguard and purchased a nice tank. Unfortunately, the tank is not a proper fit. The lower center bar has a slight curve and will not fit the standard tank (straight lower bar). Was this possibly a different model Roadmaster. I haven't seen another with this paint scheme. "Pleasure Liner" maybe? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx, Brennon
