Corvette bike????
Anybody know what this is? Found listed for sale locally 500...
"all original schwinn corvette sturmey archer 3 speed has many arnold schwinn bolts and original seat and chain guard "..Ok, did a Google search and it's really a bicycle with Corvette written on the chain guard. They were a model starting in '57 I think, kind of pricey though...

A guy in our club has one of those bikes. He has brought it to our show before but I can't seem to find a pic to add. He spent a pretty penny on restoring it and it looks very nice.

Schwinn apparently had a connection with Chevrolet because in the '60s, they had the Stingray. They did a lot of car names on bikes. Orange Crate, after a famous custom hot rod, is another.
Old restored bikes will empty your wallet in a hurry. I remember throwing old balloon tired bikes from the '50s away. At Hershey in the '80s, those same types were $200 - $400 depending on condition.
Today, I hate to think.
