Default 1964 Schwinn Deluxe Sting-ray

Untouched Survivor with beautiful Factory Paint.

One of my favorite Sting-ray models and color.

Advertised as Violet or Radiant Violet, but the common term used is Opal Violet.

Opal Violet was only available for 10 months (April ‘64 through January’65).

The J39 Deluxe model featured some cool stuff.

A tufted solo polo seat made by Charlie PERSONS.
Large Stimsonite reflector.
Chrome fenders.
White Wall tires.
Reverse screen chain guard.

Below is my E4, May 25, 1964 Opal Deluxe.

The early Sting-rays came with the small upper bearing head set like this bike.
Also the chrome square back seat strut was not crimped at the two seat mount bolts.
Rear S-2 rim has the early 36 spokes.
Both tires are factory Original to this bike, dated 2nd 1/4 of ‘64.

Sold new out of DENO’S Bike Shop in Sacramento, Ca.
