Opened in 1930 as a movie theater in Peekskill, NY. The theater is now called the Paramount Hudson Valley and they show a mix of live events and movies.
Paramounts were the most expensive US production bikes.
Hand brazed with Reynolds 531 double-butted tubing and chrome plated Nervex Professional lugs.
Full Campagnolo [Nuovo Record] components, but with Weinmann center-pull brakes. Campagnolo brakes were a $50 option. Catalogue image shows the Racing model (P13-9) with yellow plastic bar tape to match the "Kool Lemon" enamel. Chrome plated steel fenders could be ordered for the Deluxe (P15-9) Touring model.
~ Notice how low the seatposts were set on a typical bike during this era.
NOTE... [19 December 2010] I have just replaced the same previous image with this much larger and sharper scan. If you have a high speed internet connection you can download the original size and savour all of the (sometimes odd) details seen on these bikes. I'm still fascinated with the brake levers with "safety extensions" which Schwinn had decided to display on the Deluxe P15-9 model. I wonder how many new Paramount bikes were left with these mounted? Perhaps removal of those levers was the first "customizing" requests made by original purchasers.

I bought this near-mint 1974 Schwinn Paramount P-15 at a yard sale last Memorial Day for $20. It was in remarkably original condition, obviously having been put away in the back of someone's garage after having been ridden only a few miles. Gorgeous Reynolds 531 frame with excellent chromed lugs and fork ends, this is a testament to good old-fashioned American worksmanship. Completely Campagnolo equipped except for the Weinmann center-pull brakes and original "Schwinn-Approved" Shimano rear derailleur, this is a touring model that features the rare Campy triple crankset and Weinmann 27X1-1/4 alloy rims with Schwinn high-pressure tires. Brooks Professional saddle, still rock-hard, and Cinelli bars and stem round out this once-in-a-lifetime find. This bike is as it left the store in 1974, complete with the Schwinn stem-mounted levers and auxiliary brake levers. There was even a Pletscher rack.

American Cinema plays a starring role in the cultural life of the United States and the world. Since before the advent of “talking pictures,” Paramount Ranch has served as a setting for hundreds of cinematic productions.
Lights! Camera! Action!…In 1927, Paramount Pictures purchased 2,700 acres of the old Rancho Las Virgenes for use as a “movie ranch.” For 25 years, a veritable who’s who of Hollywood practiced their craft at Paramount Ranch including director Cecil B. Demille and actors Bob Hope, Gary Cooper and Claudette Colbert. The diverse landscape was the real star of the show. It offered film makers the freedom to create distant locales such as colonial Massachusetts in The Maid of Salem, ancient China in The Adventures of Marco Polo, a South Seas island in Ebb Tide (1937)and numerous western locations including San Francisco in Wells Fargo. The art of illusion was mastered on the landscape.
Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch…The golden era of movie making at Paramount Ranch came to an end when changes to the studio system prompted Paramount Pictures to sell the ranch. Paramount Ranch found renewed life as a film location when William Hertz bought the southeast portion in 1953. An ardent fan of movie westerns, he built a permanent western town utilizing Paramount Pictures’ old prop storage sheds. As a result, television companies began producing westerns at the ranch such as The Cisco Kid and Dick Powell’s Zane Grey Theatre. William Hertz sold the property in 1955. The Paramount Racetrack opened a year later, and some considered it one of the most challenging in the U.S. Although it closed 18 months later, after three fatal accidents, the racetrack was featured in The Devil’s Hairpin, filmed in 1957. Most of the track still winds through the grasslands of the park.
Ride Off Into the Sunset…From 1957 to 1980, the ranch changed ownership several times, but filmmaking continued. After purchasing a portion of the original Paramount property in 1980, the National Park Service revitalized the old movie ranch. From 1992 to 1997, Paramount Ranch was used as the setting for the television show, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. Whether watching filming or exploring the area, experience the drama and grandeur of the Santa Monica Mountains.

After growing up with Universal Studios, I was jaded to backlots until I visited Paramount Pictures. This lot is small, but stunning in its detail. The buildings are unique and look real from many angles. The architecture is not specific and quite varied, but those details just slayed me. Even the cracks in the sidewalk were planned by an art director. I stayed far too long, but adored the Paramount Pictures backlot.
*22/365 My buddy and I went for another photo walk today after classes. This was taken right across from the Paramount Theatre which is a new building at our school. I messed around a lot with curves and wanted somewhat of a vintage film tone.
I am involved with a group on Yahoo called 1980 fantasy buses which involves creating and operating a bus company at the beginning of deregulation it is currently set in October 1988 and progresses in real time I operate a company called more4buses which is a merger of the East Lancashire municipals plus Ribble's depots in Blackburn, Burnley, Clitheroe, Chorley, Lancaster, Fleetwood,and Preston.
