I believe this is a '49. Mostly complete except engine; very restorable; tank needs cleaning, no rust out; rims solid, one extra front wheel; good frame and fork; original parts to the bike; a good project bike. $950.00. Location, central Texas

After reviewing the Simplex model year differences; looks like the year is "Jan '45 thru Sep. '47" rather than 1949.
