Ruttman ?

#1
I picked this up at a Flea Market. The seller said is was a Ruttman. He also said he named it a Pink Cadillac because it has a Cadillac hood ornament on the front fender and the color of course.

What model is it?
I have the flip up footpegs, carb and gas tank also.

No I didn't pay anywhere near his asking price. He told me he wanted $400 for it... of course that was right after he opened this morning. In fact it was still in his van. He took it out when I asked him about it. I offered him $200 and he said No so I wondered off. I went back about 3:30 ish and bought it at a deep discount.
Other Cool bikes he had for sale? Do you mean his "trike" and that elec scooter thing? I heard him tell another guy he would take $20 for the elec scooter thing.
I don't know what he wanted for the trike. I was only interested in the Pink Cadillac :)

The frame and forks are very straight. The wheels and tires are in great shape. You just have to look past the florescent pink color.
I got it running and drove it around the yard. It runs good but has ZERO brakes. A clutch band brake is needed before I can ride it any further. The seat isn't a problem. There are plenty of brand new seats on Ebay for $40.
Here are some more pics of my prize.
Hey, I'm having fun...Isn't that what this hobby is about?
I'm sure I can make a little bit of money on it. Then I can buy another gem.
