Thanks for the info. TerryRustinkerer said:Cool, that's a 1962, first year of that model, and the only year Typhoon to use the double straight bar frame. That style frame was also used on some later 61 Tornados, Skippers and Flying Stars. -Adam
Thanks for the tip. The rims are painted the handlebars are junk. TerryWildcat said:It looks all there and original. I took a 64 American that looked like that and cleaned it up. The Schwinn paint and chrome was very good quality, you'll be amazed how good it will shine up. Be careful on the white lettering and trim ,it may rub off. I used soap and water on the black paint then waxed it with regular car wax.
The chrome looks gone on the rims and handlebars but it may be good under there.
