This Hollywood doesn't have that bar. It may have been some kind of Schwinn option. I've seen them on the smaller kids frames but not on the 24" and 26" wheeled frames.

It's pretty cool that you can switch your bike back and forth between boy and girl. Fix it up!

Wow Kurt - I have a bike just like that one I bought used when my kids were little except mine has a removable bar so it can be a girls or a boys bike.
Does your wife's bike have this bar? I wonder what the value of this bike is. It is such a cute bike - I really have no need for it but I have kept it for sentimental reasons.

Awesome find, Angela! For about $100 you can set it up with 68-spoke chrome wheels and white walls from www.BicycleDesigner.com. That's the simplest solution, because finding nice original 24" wheels for it will be difficult. The speedometer is probably something you can find on eBay. There is a section under Collectibles that is dedicated to vintage Schwinn., so that's a good place to start.

Send me an email if you have any more questions. Thanks and congratulations!

Hi Kurt,
I recently purchased a blue 24" Schwinn Hollywood at a garage sale....$10. I bought a bike basket for another $10. The wheels are kind of rusty and it still has the cracked original tires on it. I replaced the tubes, but I would like to replace the wheels and tires. I also would love a speedometer. Do you have any ideas. Tell your wife I couldn't wipe the smile off of my face after I got the tires filled with air. I have been riding it EVERYWHERE in our little town. Added bonus....the cellulite is going away in my legs! woo hoo! Thanks.
Angela

If you ask me Spinster Girl, I'd say take it with you and fix it up! You can't beat the quality of the old Schwinns, and customizing them isn't too hard.

Keep it!

This is an old post, but I came across it while doing an image search for my own Schwinn. What an inspiration! I'm getting ready to move and was deciding whether or not I move the bike with me (in anticipation of a much needed makeover) or pass it on.
