Thanks Pete, I will keep that in mind, although I am a long way from that part.  I have 4 siblings and my folks just did not have money to spare for that kind of purchase.  He was a great guy to all of us.

Thanks for the replies guys.  The tires are 27 x 3.50 Simplex Ballon.  The engine number is M24941B, not sure where the frame number is and the title is at home.
It is titled as a 1958 model.  I shot a couple of pics as well and will post them shortly.

     I received the 1957 Automatic for Christmas in 1956 from my grand father.  I worked for him on his farm without pay of course.  I was 11 years old.  We went, and I picked it out at a Montgomery Wards store.  I rode it almost 7 years until I was able to buy a used car.  I still have the title and original sales slip.  It stopped running when the small cam that opens the points broke.  I have since lost the flywheel cover.

Thanks, I am very proud of this one.  I have started on my original 1957 Auto but have not had much time to do so.  It is solid black.

Hello all, I am John and new to the board.  I started riding my 1957 Simplex Automatic in December of 1956.  I have ridden bikes all my life, on and off road.  I still have my 57 and a 58 Sportsman that I got about a year ago.  It is good to see so much interest in these old machines.  Thanks for letting me join in the discussions.
