Packard Badged Schwinn.

[slacker]

One of two Schwinn bikes I picked up this weekend. The other is waiting for me a Easter dinner. I'll have pictures later.

This Packard badged Schwinn is in pretty fair condition. Lots of good parts to rob. The tank is in really nice condition. It has Decent S-2 wheels. Nice fork and truss rods. Fenders are pretty good. Over all, a good catch.

I was wondering what year this would be? Early 50's? What would the corresponding Schwinn model be?

I would say a model called the fully equipped standard
