Whizzer - 1976 Winner National First Prize (Senior). Help identify what i have

[Guest mdalbke]

Hi all!

 

I am working on the estate of a family member who recently passed away and he owned this Whizzer bike.  I have more info at home and will update this post tonight or tomorrow, but I think the bike is from the 40s.  There is a AAC of America plaque on it.  I believe the bike was in running condition 4 years ago and then sat unused inside since then.

 

Can anyone shed some light on this?

  Hello  ,   This would appear to be a 1947 Whizzer kit installed on a 40,s vintage schwinn bike.   The light kit was a Whizzer accessory . This bike was not one made by schwinn specifically for the Whizzer  kit .  Some were produced with a different rear fender, brake torque arm, heavier spokes and had frame indentations for belt clearance.  I believe this bike was restored by Chuck Pergl in New York.  A very correct older restoration.  Hope this helps .   Paul
