Bonus Sunday - Schwinn takes a trip to Disneyland 1965/66

Welcome to Bonus Sunday. Today we’ve got a neat little catalog. “Schwinn takes a Trip to Disneyland".





Schwinn takes a trip to Disneyland Entire Catalog - 71mb



Here's a few select pages.  On Friday’s post I couldn’t find the date for this catalog, well heck, it’s right on the first inside page! Maybe I need glasses… "Copyright 1966", however, I think these photos were taken in 1965, check out last photo in this post.






Ask any Mermaid You Happen to See... What's the Best Tuna?” Chicken of the Sea of course! These bikes are great!






This set of photos has pretty ladies, pretty bikes and the “old” Tomorrowland in its golden years, I love it!






From the tandem bikes section on page 15, this Main Street photo reveals it was taken in 1965. I imagine the rest of the photos are from 1965 as well, probably the fall when the park was closed Monday’s and Tuesday’s.





I hope you download and enjoy Schwinn;s trip to Disneyland catalog, there's some great vintage photos and some great vintage bikes. Check back next week for Schwinn's "Diamond Jubilee" Catalog from 1970 photographed at Knott's Berry Farm. It's just as fantastic as the Disneyland catalog, maybe a little better because it has my first bike in it, a Sting-Ray in Campus Green with a "Slik" rear tire!
