See eBay item # 150320188264--1939 Schwinn Paramount, serial #A685. It was listed on eBay about a week ago, not as an auction, but as a "Buy-it-now" item. It ended today with "Buy-it-now" for $4000! Nice orange bike, although missing the nicer Paramount "telephone dial" hubs. It has a little more chrome than most '38/39 Paramounts--head tube and all lugs, fork tips, and track ends. Based on previous pictures that I have of this bike, hubs appear to small flange Schwinn Superior variety. This sale especially gets my interest because I used eBay's "Buy-it-now" to purchase an all-chrome '38 Paramount late this past November.
