Fleetwood Deluxe
B5147836A
with a Dodge motor

I don't know how to research it to learn how to take care of it.
The case is wood - - of sorts .. a type of plywood ... it is a drop in bobbin, with an automatic bobbin winder ... the belt is exposed, don't know if you can see it in the pictures.
One of the ladies at the Auxiliary gave it to me for my Workday at the Post. trying to think what else to tell you ... I can't remember if she said that her mother sewed with it at least 35 years, but she has had it at her house for the last 25 years. There is a plastic bobbin in the rotary case, which I plan on replacing, figuring that is why the tension is so "iffy" ... but, the machine doesn't know it is a little machine <g>

I have never seen one before, but she sure is a looker! And you are so lucky to have her.

This is the only website I could find with info about a Fleetwood. I don't know if it will help you any or not.

Thank you, Marcia, I will pop on over <g>
I am just a really bad researcher. I am really grateful for the helpers I find on the Quilting Board <wave>

Looks like a fun machine. Good luck on finding info.

Hi, this looks a lot like the Macy's machine I have that was made by Singer for specific stores.

I have one that is quite similar by De Luxe. Very ornate and heavy as all get out! Bought it at an estate sale for $20. Still has the original dealer's sticker on it which is local. Haven't taken the time to see if they are still in business, but did look up history on the De Luxe company. (I realize your Deluxe is spelled differently!) Good luck!

Wow omak!!!! She's a beauty :D :D :D I hope you get the info you need!

Here's another site to check into.

Dodge motor??? Does that mean it has a Hemi in it? lol sorry, never heard of this machine.
