1939 Hawthorne, Zep

The Hawthorne Zep was the top of the line for Montgomery Ward in 1939. Price was just $39.95 with the single speed hub. The bicycle pictured is a very high quality restoration, surpasing the quality of the original production bicycle by quite a bit. All chrome and paint is flawless.... Junior's bike didn't look this good in 1939! Notice that this bike has red tires with white sidewalls. These are Goodyear "G3" Airwheel's and are not original to the bike.

Side jewelled reflectors that illuminate, 3-way lock that locks in center or right or left angles, Twin Bar frame' chrome plated chainguard. Fork; "Shockmaster" springer.
