Found this bike in a shed. Had been sitting there a good while. Haven't seen anything like it before. Would like to find out how many were produced and where i can get parts.

they are sumwhat rare but not too rare i have owned a few but you may be able to find some parts on ebay every know and then some come on
what type of value?
I wouldnt try to sell it on craigslist but if you tryed ebay you will need to take a copper brilla pad and clean the chrome then get everything thing working(lights,horn,hub,rideable) then you will prolly see it bring atleast 100 dollars if not more,especially with the two delta lights on the front
Most, not all, bicycle parts are somewhat generic, btu from looking at the pics it looks like you'll only need tires and tubes whic is as simple a Walmart ! Cleaning is like Belknap said 'cept clean the painted surfaces with some mild soap and water then a very light coat of WD-40 (spray on the rag and wipe lightly to slow down rust) Very Nice ride.
sierradriver, I was looking at this bike, and I swear it looks exactly like the one I have minus the seat(mines 2 tone blue and white), and the dual headlights on the front rack piece(mine is missing). It looks exactly the same. It is a 1961. Worth about $100 cleaned up and riding, and everything working. I had started doing a nut and bolt restoration, but decided to only do a mild restoration. I buffed the rust off the rims, and rebuilt them, and when I get the horn working, if possible, ima be selling it. But, I swear, I thought this was my bike when I first saw it, has the same rusty patina and all!
